Bug Description

1. boot hardy live cd
2. go to last.fm
3. when firefox asks if you want to install missing plugins, select to install adobe flash (gnash and swfdec is not usable at all for last.fm playback)
4. type in some artist name and press OK so that sound starts playing from last.fm
5. open the "Examples" folder on the desktop
6. double click the saxophone.ogg file

Expected results:
Muxed playback of last.fm and ogg file.

Actual results:
The ogg file doesn't play at all.

I thought this was pulseaudio big claim to fame - being able to mux several sound sources despite what kind of interface they used to playback audio. I've attached my alsa-info.sh output.
