Media Players - Hardy

[Rick Berger]

I'm get the same type of problem with Firefox, it seem it locks out the
sound system from everything else 90% of time. Restarting it solves it,
but it's a pain when you have multiple tabs and instances of it open.

It shouldn't matter that "it isn't designed for GNOME"... if you install the QT libs etc.. which you have already done if you are using it... it will work fine in Gnome.... as should the other players you've tried... Banshee... RhythmBox etc.  If you are finding they are all locking up that is a signal that something else is not right... I don't know what off the top of my head, but chances are good that if all the players you've tried so far have been freezing and refusing to work, that the next one you try will also have problems.
