Details

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-4.1mdk i686; en-US; rv:0.9)
Gecko/20010507
BuildID:    2001050719

Mozilla 0.9 with the Flash 5 plugin installed won't start up if the Xmms (Linux
mp3 player) application is already running.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Flash 5 plugin from Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com) and make
sure it's working.

2. Start Xmms so it's sitting on your desktop and listen to an mp3.

3. Try and start mozilla.

Actual Results:  Mozilla won't load up.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should load up.

If Xmms isn't running, mozilla starts up just fine. You can then turn start XMMS
and listen to mp3s normally. I'm *GUESSING* this means that the Flash 5 plugin
is trying unsuccessfully to get ahold of an audio device that Xmms is using, and
therefore isn't loading properly. And this in turn keeps mozilla from loading.
Just to clarify some more: you actually have to be playing an mp3 to cause
mozilla to not start up. If Xmms is just running (but not playing anything) then
mozilla will start properly.
