Just after I reported this I tried one more thing, I killed the
"mate-volume-control-applet". My sound started working again immediately.
I didn't have to reboot or logout or anything. I already had a test 
audio program running and as soon as "mate-volume-control-applet" was
kill, the audio started coming out.

Not sure if this bug should be re-assigned to mate-media or not.
