Bug Description
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
It's impossible to watch videos in youtube then other program is playing sound.
Steps to reproduce:
1)Have some video playing in vlc for example,
2) go to youtube and try to watch video,
3) It plays for some 2 seconds and stops. If you try to seek video, it starts playing for 2 seconds again.
Flash plugin should be able to play video, although it didn't have access to audio device.
This happens with both Firefox and Epiphany.

Confirmed here on Hardy, latest updates from the repository. Play for 2 to 3 seconds with no sound output then stops (though the vid keeps buffering). Seeking starts again for 2 - 3 seconds. If I kill the pulseaudio daemon and reload the page, the video plays perfectly, with sound.
If I remove the libflashsupport package (which I have to force, because flashplugin-nonfree depends on it) things works as expected: flash movies play - alongside music from totem or whatever too.
So I think this is actually either a bug with libflashsupport or pulseaudio, though I'll leave as flashplugin- nonfree.
Additionally, I can't output sound using pulseaudio. If I set the sound preferences to pulseaudio and click test, I hear no test sound. Sound *input* works with pulseaudio though.
ii flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.115.0ubuntu4
ii libflashsupport 1.9-0ubuntu1
ii pulseaudio 0.9.9-1ubuntu2
