Karmic here and I see this happening from time to time on both my eeepc and  
the desktop PC. I did all I knew I could to get rid of pulsaudio that still 
shows up in the audio setting window. I cannot remove it. It doesn't show as 
default and I don't know what it does there. libpulse0 is in and, as Mark 
said, it looks like it doesn't like being touched. Startup sound plays.

On reboot I always get the audio back.
