I've had the problem too. It's a bug in the flash plugin. When playing sound the plugin tries to open /dev/dsp which is in use when you're playing mp3's. The plugin just hangs at that moment which causes the whole browser to hang. One workaround is to set xmms to esound output instead of oss output. Using a soundcard which allows multiple programs to open /dev/dsp works too of cours (sb live/audigy users don't have this problem). greets, Kj
