70066 - Mozilla won't start if Flash plugin is installed and sound is playing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58339

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[bugzilla]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686; en-US; 0.9) Gecko/20010223
BuildID:    2001022308

When you start Mozilla and have the Flash plugin installed, it waits for the
audio device to become available. In the case where another program is already
using the audio device (e.g. an MP3 player) this means Mozilla will appear to
hang with no indication of what is happening whatsoever. Netscape 4.76 / Linux
does not suffer the same problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install libflashplayer.so
2. cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
3. Start Mozilla.


Actual Results:  Mozilla will not appear until you close xmms.

Expected Results:  Mozilla browser window appears.
