Flash files crash in Firefox when MPlayer palying music

[alibabarezayat]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox stops responding while opening flash files (on youtube for example), when another application such as Mplayer is playing music. It seems that the problem is due to a conflict between applications when they have to choose the sound device. I had same conflict between Skype and Mplayer.

flash/sound issue. Please check the following things:

 1. ensure that you don't have a $HOME/.asoundrc.
 2. ensure that you have libasound2-plugins package installed.
 3. test latest packages from https://edge.launchpad.net/~crimsun/+archive
 4. test latest packages from https://edge.launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive

Thanks!
