to clarify:
the workaround is as follows

1) get the pulseaudio pid, kill it and restart the pulseaudio server

kill $(ps aux | grep "pulseaudio --start" | grep -v grep | awk '{print
$2}') && pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog


** Description changed:

  what happened:
  after disconnecting an hdmi cable from my computer, there was no audio from 
my computer.
  
  pulseaudio had crashed.
  i noticed this by opening the sound settings dialog and clicking the "test 
sound" button: nothing happened, no dialog popped up.
  
- subsequently, i did a ps aux | grep pulseaudio  and killed the pid of the 
server.
- then i started the server again with the same command that the process i 
killed obviously used.
+ subsequently, i did a:
+   ps aux | grep pulseaudio

+ and killed the pid of the pulseaudio server (SIGTERM).
+ then i started the server again with the same command that the process i 
killed obviously used:
+ /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
+ 
+ 
  problem worked-around.
