I experience the same exact thing. I am new to ubuntu but a advanced windows user. Dual boot windows xp and ubuntu. So please bare with me. If rhythmbox music player and pidgin internet messenger together, they both can play sounds alongside each other with no problems. With firefox, any sound, not just flash for me..... is disabled if rhythmbox music player is playing before launching firefox. I can provide more details and logs as long as someone tells me to do it. I would love to help as long as i know what i can do. Thanks.
