Rick,

Sorry for the delay in replying to your helpful message. At one point, audio
seemed to be working again. Right now, however, no sound. Earlier this
afternoon, banshee was playing OK, but for some reason audio simply stopped
working. 

I tried exiting pulseaudio and restarting as you indicated. It appears to be
active. I can open Sound Preferences and see the apps that are using sound,
ie, Rhythmbox and/or Banshee and/or VLC. The programs themselves appear to
see the audio device and play without any error message. 

I am quite sure it is not an inadvertently selected 'mute' box ;)

At this point, I am clueless. I have no idea what is crashing nor why. I
can't identify any kind of reproduceable pattern.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
