Driving home Monday night I heard similar noises, battery light came on, lost power steering, and engine temp needle started to climb. Same deal. Top left pulley had seized, belt overheated and started to shred. My local mechanic said he usually replaces this and one other pulley in pairs. There was no way I could get at the other pulley and it still spun freely, so I replaced the culprit and put on a new belt. I will keep an ear/eye on the other pulley.
The automatic tensioner actually makes belt replacement pretty simple on the 9-5. The pulleys are another matter with very limited space to work in. With one belt running everything, when it goes, you are dead in the water.
