[Bug 302276] [NEW] Suspend/resume breaks sound output until Firefox is restarted

[Chris Conway]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

On my Inspiron 6400, sound output stops working in all applications
after suspend/resume if I have any Flash video applets visible in
Firefox (note: not necessarily playing, just visible). In addition,
closing Firefox normally doesn't work: a zombie process remains, so that
trying to open a new instance yields an error stating that Firefox is
already running.

Doing "killall -HUP firefox" restore sound in all applications
(including Firefox, after a restart). I can also restore sound in all
applications BUT Firefox by terminating the stream "ALSA plugin
[firefox]" in the PulseAudio Volume Control. After doing this, Flash
videos will just freeze up.
