I think this happens because the Flash Player instances in the browser
are sharing sound resources, which is a "good idea" because the sound
API's (for Windoze definitely) only have limited resources, so the
player is probably trying to be nice and not hog resources completely.
I guess the SoundSpectrum comes from a global buffer used by all
instances of the player. Again this is probably another good thing
because allowing lots of player instances to do FFT's would seriously
hamper performance too, but I guess there needs to be some kind of
switching between the buffer that has focus, or allowing more than one
spectrum to be computed, but maybe control this in the settings so
people can have 1 or more depending on how much they like to eye candy.
I had problems in the past with stopAllSounds or something similar that
stopped all sounds - across all tabs, so again, this could be for the
same reason.

Hello Flashcoders,
To see the problem with the Spectrum, just open up firefox and
have two tabs with the following links:
http://www.flashsites.nl/example/SoundSpectrumBitmapScroll7.html
http://www.thesminc.com/demo/sound/
These two samples are using the sound spectrum in AS3,
and this is what happens when both of them are played
in two tabs. WHY, it must be considered as a bug when
this has been implemented in such way?
Or is there any solution that you know of?
