About two days ago I noticed that when I went to play a video using smplayer that I had no sound when I did about 3 hours before. I tried a few different players and nothing worked, i remember seeing a notice in amarok though that ALSA was in use by another program but it wasn't. I opened mplayer from the command line and it said that it couldn't open ALSA and OSS sound devices because they were in use. I tried restarting the ALSA daemon but that didnt do anything so I rebooted and the sound worked again. The same problem kept happening every day at about 2-10 hour intervals.
After one of the reboots to fix ALSA yesterday I noticed that I couldn't see my kicker panel at the bottom, I switched from compiz to kwin and it still wasn't there, back to compiz and still not there, I restarted X and it still wasnt there. I just booted back in to see if it was there and its still invisable, yet it is running since I can see it in the process list.
