Though you said another reboot fixed the problem, I'd like to throw in
my thoughts on the matter in case they prove useful.

Hmm, I'm not sure what amaroK does, but if you're getting messages in
dmesg about OSS, I have a feeling that it installed a kernel module to
run sound. You wouldn't have seen this problem until after a restart if
the software simply installed the modules and configured your machine to
load them on boot, but didn't actually load them at the time, or they
failed to load.
If this problem crops up again, I'd suggest looking into whether amaroK
installs sound kernel modules, and whether there are options to install
ALSA modules instead. OSS has been deprecated since kernel 2.6 came out.
