Since Sunday morning's update I have lost sound. The following message
appear in the journal when I try to start e.g BBC Sounds
pulseaudio[2784]: Failed to create sink input: sink is suspended.
pulseaudio[2784]: Error opening PCM device front:1: Invalid argument
(not just bias - the same error message appears when starting to play
Classic FM)
Also trying to start Clementine
Any ideas, anyone?

Try renaming ~/.pulse to something else such as ~/.pulse.old, logout and back in.
