[Bug 647235] [NEW] Audio-enhanced webpage in Firefox (like YouTube) locks out audio in Rhythmbox, forcing Rhythmbox to be restarted a few times before it plays music again.

[Matt Hohmeister]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Ubuntu 10.04
ALSA 1.0.23

Firefox 3.6.10
Rhythmbox 0.12.8

If I go to a webpage with audio--namely, a YouTube video--it won't play
unless I stop the music playing in Rhythmbox. Once done watching the
video, Rhythmbox won't produce any audio unless I quit and reopen
Rhythmbox a few times. Rhythmbox then quits itself, and when I re-open
it, _then_ it'll play audio.
