I too have received this error. I have Ubuntu 8.10 on which I have installed Kubuntu (apt-get install kubuntu-desktop).
In my case, I find that sometimes (randomly) the pulseaudio dies. That's when I get this error. (Reproducible).
Starting pulseaudio with "pulseaudio &" clears this problem for me.
