185071 - Mozilla and Phoenix freeze totally sometimes while I am listening to a Shoutcast stream in xmms

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58339

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Larry H]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

Yup, thats right. Sitting here in Boston and running Mandrake 9.0, I like to
listen to lots of winamp-compatible streams while browsing the net in either
Phoenix 0.5 (this also happened in 0.4) or Mozilla 1.2.1, specifically the
UK-based station at http://137.222.136.150:8088.

If I am receiving a stream, then irregularly but very repeatably the browser
hangs entirely when going between pages (that is, opening a new site). Not even
the scroll bars or the minimize controls work. XMMS keeps playing and reponding
fine. If I have had the foresight to open XMMS in one workspace and the browser
in another workspace, then I can use the panel applet to change from the
browser's workspace to the XMMS workspace. If I kill XMMS using XMMS controls
(the "x" in the upper right for example) then the browser immediately begins to
respond again.

I am sending this to both xmms and phoenix/mozilla bugzillas. However, I believe
it is xmms' fault, since both of the browsers exhibit the same problem.

FWIW, I am using ALSA.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.as above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The problem occurs

Expected Results:  
Not frozen. I think this may be an xmms problem so I have cross-posted this bug.
However it may be something you guys are doing, so it's here too.

This is a true pain. Please look into it.

Thanks. The reason I didn't read that frame was that I had no idea that Flash
was involved. There is no sign that Flash is being invoked when you are loading
a group of tabs and the Flash-calling page is not on the top tab! Hence, I
searched Bugzilla using "xmms and mozilla and freeze". Sorry I was too dumb to
guess about Flash.

It should work if you upgrade to flash6 beta for Linux which fixed MANY bugs
