Comment 30 for bug 196470

Although there seem to be many work-arounds for specific program combinations, none really seem to address or resolve the issue completely for all applications. Although I was able to gain additional stability through some of the aforementioned methods, there are still programs that wreak havoc when trying to use them simultaneously along side of flash - for me, notably Last.Fm's player.
No matter what I do, when I load firefox (and flash) first, Last.FM reports the 'ALSA error'. When I load Last.FM player first and then attempt to play a flash video, I get 2 seconds and then the video playback hangs... Has anyone found a 'real fix'?
