80585 - Mozilla does not start when TMPEGEnc is running.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53952

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Joachim Otahal]

I heavily use the Tsunami Mpeg Encoder ( http://www.tmpgenc.com ).
While this encoder is running one of it's hours-taking tasks Mozilla does not 
start. The encoder itself is set to idle priority whith the options menu in the 
encoder. System info tools also say the encoder it is running at idle priority, 
and Mozilla with normal priority usin 0.00 % CPU. Mozilla doesn't start. It 
shows up in the tasklist, but does not start until TMpegEnc has finished its 
encoding. Pausing the encoding does not make Mozilla start. This is not a "slow 
start" of Mozilla, it simply does not start, waiting 'till the end and then 
starts sometimes, sometimes not.
Anything else in my system responses as normal, nearly like TMpeg is not running 
in the background, I can even play games like quake3 or Black and White without 
problems.
Applies to both versions official 0.9 and 2001-05-12-22-trunk.
Every previous version I tried had that behaviour too, (many of the nightly 
builds between 0.7 and now).
System is an Athlon 900 MHz with 768 MB RAM and Windows98se german (and other 
stuff which is not important in that context).

This happens when /dev/dsp is busy and user has flash installed.
