This is definitely a bug in Unity. I bumped into the same problem and ran some tests to try to fix it but there is no way to recover the audio without restarting the app.

In my tests I used Google Hangouts notifications to kill the audio.

Programmer's proposed fix won't work because: 1. The notification does not trigger application pause nor application focus events. 2. Initializing a new AudioListener and/or AudioSource instances will not recover the audio either.

This is a low level bug in Unity. I will make a report on the bug.
