This happens to me every time I run Audacity. Apple has a Knowledge Base 
article about it:

<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832>

Basically, some apps set the sample rate higher than other apps can play 
back. It isn't just Rev; I also lose all system sounds when it happens. 
You need to use MIDI Setup to reset your audio sample rate to 44100.0 Hz.
