From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Mozilla loads the flash plugin, which tries to open /dev/dsp and when it can't, the browser hangs until the mp3 player (mpg123) stops. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run mpg123 <mp3> 2. start mozilla, browse to a flash site (www.reason.com works for me) Actual Results: Mozilla hangs until the mp3 stops playing Expected Results: Web page should continue to load to completion... sharing the sound device? Additional info: This is probably a flash bug... strace shows mozilla doing an open on /dev/dsp when the hang occurs, so its obviously a sound related problem. I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this...
Get the flash 6 beta. It's fixed there. I can't fix this since it's a flash problem, not a moz problem.
