I'm going to re-open this issue, as it's not solved, and in my case is
not a file system issue - as banshee is stuck in a fuse_write stae,
writing to the primary disk that everything else is running on quite
happily.

Banshee will restart once I reboot, which is not a viable option. I've
tried every variation of every trick listed in this thread and others
(and the noah site) and nothing works.

Title:
  Cannot restart banshee after crash

Status in banshee package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If banshee crashes the sound/audio system menu still shows it as
  available but nothing happens if I click on it. With ps I can see a
  defunct banshee process that cannot be removed. If I try to run
  banshee from the command line nothing happens. Restarting gdm and/or
  unity also has no effect. As far as I can tell there is now no way to
  start banshee short of rebooting which is annoying. Does anyone know
  how I can start banshee without closing everything down and rebooting?
  Perhaps there is some part of Ubuntu that controls the sound menu and
  I can restart that? I was hoping it was part of gdm or unity but
  restarting them didn't help.

  Description:	Ubuntu 13.04
  Release:	13.04
  but I have seen the same behaviour in 12.04
