This is likely a known crash in speech-dispatcher's audio output code. Its not just Ubuntu that experiencesa this proble, as this crash bug is in the upstream code, and would do the same on other distros. You just need to kill and restart speech-dispatcher to get things working again.

I hope to fix the bug in the coming months.
