Public bug reported: When a flash video is being streamed in Firefox, I can't play any other media on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Mplayer video seems non-progressing and Amarok player just hangs, until the page containing the video is close in Firefox.
At times there were instances where, Pidgin messenger tried to alert incoming message, and later the whole sound froze. I could restore the sound only after restarting the X (I don't know how to restart the sound driver alone). After this freezing happens (of course after the flash video page is closed in Firefox), mplayer plays back only video without any audio; and Amarok player displays a dialog saying it couldn't initialize any sound drivers. Other people are also facing the same issue. There's a thread in Ubuntu forums, to which none has replied yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5488506 ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- No media works when a flash video is being streamed in Firefox.
