Comment 5 for bug 194573

just wanted to report that this bug is still active in Mozilla1.7b on
Linux/Mandrake9.1 with oss sounddrivers.

but what happens on my system differs a little bit from the above discribed: the
UI (and all other Mozilla releated windows/applications) locks up from the
moment on a wav-file is played till one second before it stops playing. so if
you play a 1-minute sound Mozilla almost is locked up for this minute!
