Agreed, I'm not 100% sure that KDE is to blame, but I updated everything, 
rebooted, logged int gnome, sound worked, I player with removing and 
reloading audio module. Sound worked fine in Gnome. I logged to KDE, got 
the message and sound stopped working both in KDE and in Gnome.

That is why I made slightly comical title "KDE ate my sound card" and not 
"F*CK KDE, it killed my sound" or something similar. 

I'm just interested how to get sound back working again, any tips/tricks 
or suggestion are more than welcome, and I'll share back what I found out 
about this issue. So hopefully other users don't get bitten with by same 
situation.
