The main reason why PulseAudio exists is so that multiple apps can play sounds simultaneously, without having to stop and restart each app to get access to the audio hardware in turn. So I don't think having two windows open should be a problem.

In this dump I tried to start music through Firefox and through my media player quodlibet and none of the audio starts. See attachment with the pulseaudio volume control and quodlibet stuck on time 0:00 like Firefox. I do not have the problem with plain Ubuntu, Ubuntu Mate nor with Ubuntu Studio. The problem is annoying, because I use Xubuntu for office and communication like Email and the WhatsApp/Firefox/ICE combination and with this bug WhatsApp is useless.
