I would be leaning more toward this myself. It's unlikely (highly,
extremely) a clutch would fail all of a sudden like that, you typically
notice slippage first, and if you were spinning a clutch disc as you
describe, you wife would have probably smelt something funny, too. The
whirring sound is likely one of the stubs shafts spinning freely. Try
locking the diffs and see if the car moves. I bet it does. If any recent
CV work was done, it may be as simple as the bolts have loosened attaching
the CV to the tranny/diff. Worst case scenario in this situation is broken
internal tranny parts.
