I'm having this exact same issue.  Just started within the last two weeks. My scenario is that I like to listen to Pandora on my iPad when I go to sleep at night.  I close all other apps, set the sleep timer to 60 minutes, and close the cover on my iPad.  The next night, as soon as you open the app, the advertisement appears, you get about 1 second of music, and then no sound - if you look closely at the app, you can see it's playing the song, you just can't hear anything. When it happens, it's typically after the app has been left open, and the sleep time enabled. If I delete and re-add the app, it works again.  If I restart the iPad, it also starts playing again.
