[Bug 374407] Re: Firefox freezes after leaving page with flash on it

I have found a work around that works for me:

Description: When amarok is runing and Firefox 3 tries to play a video
with sound, no sound plays, and after closing firefox, it is hung in the
background and must be killed.

Assumptions: Both Firefox and Amarok were trying to directly access my
sound hardware causing an error. In my case it is listed in KDE system
settings as: HDA Intel (AD198x Analog)

Workaround: Go to KDE System settings, Multimedia, Device Preference tab
and set PulseAudio as the preferred (top) Output Device for all types of
audio.

Tested working: Play a song in Amarok and also a youtube video in
Firefox 3. Both applications can now play audio simultaneously and
firefox does not hang after viewing the video. It can be closed cleanly.
