Opening unity-control-center mutes Firefox/Flash sound

[G.M.]

Hi,

I wanted to disable the firefox "alert" sound... So I searched the web and I found a lot of tips...

One of them was about opening "unity-control-center sound" and setting "Mute" in the "Sound Effects" tab.

Unfortunately, as soon as I did launch "unity-control-center sound" trouble arose:

- I'm listening to music using "jango.com" (i.e. using Firefox+flash plugin)
- When the song changes or I reload the page, a new "Firefox" (in fact "CubebUtils") entry appears in the "Applications" tab of "unity-control-center sound".
- Unfortunately, this new entry has a volume set to 0.

This means that, as soon as "unity-control-center sound" is opened, I have to go set the sound volume at every song change. This does not go away with closing unity-control-center.

However, opening unity-control-center has no effect on default volume for mplayer, vlc, etc., only FF/flash...

Fortunately, it disappears with a reboot, but it is VERY annoying

This morning it seems that rebooting did not solve the problem...

Now sound volume for FF is set to 0 every time a HTML/Flash video/sound is started

VERY annoying

Seems to be the same as:

not related to unity-control-center, but FF/pulseaudio
