I got the same problem with Zone Alarm Security Suite (ZASS!).  I have
been quite happy with ZASS, until I installed AlienBBC to listen to the
BBC World Service, and I had the same symptoms as the other ZASS users.

I played with the Socketwrapper code to discover that ZASS screws up
"named pipes".  A 'pipe' is a special file to which one process can
write to, and another read from.  A 'named pipe' is required when one
of the programs chained together by socketwrapper can only read or
write from a file.  If I remember correctly, mplayer receives the real
audio stream and writes it to some other format to the named pipe.

I contacted Zone Labs support about this, but my request got
misinterpreted.  What I would need is to exchange a few emails with one
of their programmers.

I find the link to the instant messenger security very interesting.  I
don't use that part of ZASS.  If only I could uninstall only that part
of the installation!
