Public bug reported:

For the past few months, occasionally audacious stops playing audio.
The program itself is responsive, but attempting to hit play results in
no audio being played, and the timer for the particular track played to
stay at 0:00.  Exiting audacious doesn't help, though killing
pulseaudio/ and forcefully reloading alsa via "alsa force reload" does.
Today I noticed that if I change to the terminal via Alt-Ctrl-F1, the
sound starts playing and remains playing so long as I'm away from Xorg,
whereupon it stops playing when I return.
