I have the same problem on two machines running ubuntu 8.04 with different sound cards, etc.
It looks like that if an application uses audio no other can use it until that application is closed. I've tryied it with rhythmbox + flash , rhythmbox + skype , skype + flash , etc -- Rhythmbox cannot play audio after watching Flash video in Firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
