I have an SL5 system on which sound suddenly stopped working a week or tow 
ago.  The CD player looks like it's playing, but nothing comes out of the 
output jack (yes, I checked the volume settings).  The 
gnome-sound-properties applet crashes immediately when I start it.  Have 
there been any updates to the sound system in the past few weeks that 
might have something to do with this?

thanks,
