I suspect what he was talking about was the open differential. For those who may not understand that, in an open differential, if one wheel is in the air, it will Spin and spin and spin and the other wheel will not turn.
Likewise, if one axle is broken, the shaft will Spin and spin and spin and no power will be applied to the other wheel. In other words, breaking one axle is as good as breaking both axles! :-) haha

Given the bang, and then the lack of any other noises afterwards, I would also vote for the axle. There are things that could go on in the clutch, or in the transmission itself, which could cause the symptoms you are experiencing, but you would most certainly hear things rattling around now.

And as has also already been said, you should be able to diagnose that very quickly, just by peering underneath the car.
