I rebooted several times.  Actually I also rebooted with a newer kernel,
then switched back.

And yes, I tried oaf-slay, and also runing "wombat" from the command
line (it didn't die), and removing stuff in /tmp.

Upgrading the kde sound package forced me to upgrade several other
packages (althuogh the dependency on libasound made it complicated).

yes, it might.  If it stops working again I'll report in much more
detail; I do still have the result of running strace evolution, but
it's not very enlightening, except that it looks like it had an error
opening a sound device, which is what prompted me to try the upgrade.
