Works fine for me on Linux with cvs 20020915. I think this is infact
a problem with your sound driver since some of the in-kernel oss drivers
doesn't allow multiple opens to /dev/??? devices for sound access. I use
the alsa drivers (http://www.alsa-project.org) and they work just fine.

Depending on the environment you use, you're going to want to configure Mozilla
and XMMS to use a sound server.   As dave mentions, with many systems, /dev/dsp
can only be written to by one program.    

For example, if you're using KDE/arts, then start mozilla with the command
"artsdsp mozilla" and configure XMMS to also use arts.   I believe something
similar can be done with esd also.
