I had experienced the exact same problem. When Rhythmbox is playing a song, no sound output came from Firefox (Youtube or any Flash site). Also, AFAIK GMail uses Flash for audio alerts (not for other parts).
I guess the problem is due to lack of integration of Flash Player with Pulseaudio (not an Ubuntu fault). The workaround is very simple. In System ->Preferences -> Sound choose ALSA for all options (except may be for "Device" under "Default Mixer Tracks"). This fixed it for me. Hope it fixes it for you too. Ho[e some developer can comment on whether the problem is due to non-integration of Flash player with Pulseaudio.

Pre-loading and forcing Vista on new laptops kills consumers' choice. Fight for choice of OS just as there is for the Hard Disk capacity in new laptops.
