This means that firefox (or some program that it is using like esound
or pulse or the flashplayer) is "holding" the sound device. This
prevents other programs from queueing audio stuff.
If you want multiple programs to be able to access your sound
hardware at the same time, then you need to activate the "dmix" alsa
plugins. I had this figured out a while ago and wrote the enclosed
".asoundrc" file. It works for me but I've forgotten why ;-)
If you do check this out and it works please write some documentation!
Regards,
Kapil.
