Because they are both trying to use the audio device at the same time. Since XMMS had it first, Flash blocks until XMMS is finished. You can just hit "pause" in XMMS and the Flash movie should start just fine. You may also be able to use something like "Esound" to allow Linux to mix together audio streams, so more than one thing can play at a time. Check out the Linux Audio How-to -- it should be able to give you more information. --Mike
