Hi Matthew
Good point. Sound is muted and indeed playback is paused. Maybe it's the
pause that cause the muting.
On further investigation in xfce, under the condition that the
checkboxes 'Hide content of
windows [when moving] or [when resizing]' are ticked muting and pausing
occurs when windows are moved/resized using mouse or keyboard.
Furthermore, moving/resizing when using smplayer for playing a video
file results in a mute and pause. Playing an audio only file results in
no mute or pause. Window wise there is no canvas area but only the
window decorations when playing the audio file.
Using mplayer from a terminal window and moving/resizing any window then
both the video file and the audio file gets muted and paused.

Hello,
Same here with fvwm2-2.6.5 (installed via pkg) and 5.8-release.
But in my case it happens when moving or *resizing* any window (xterm,
firefox, etc.) if I keep mouse pressed doing any of above event "long
enough".
Looks like this issue is not directly related to wm or desktop
environment.
Are you sure it's *muting* and not *pausing*?
ISTR from back when I used fvwm that this behaviour was caused by mouse
drags freezing communication with X, causing all X clients to pause
until the mouse dropped.
I didn't ever fix it, sadly. Being one of those things that Shouldn't
Even Be Possible I just chalked it down to X being X, where that
statement is invalid.
This was not on OpenBSD, by the way, but I doubt that matters.
