The reason is that Flash and xmms both use old OSS for sound, which
allows only one app to access the soundcard at a time. Configure your
XMMS to use alsa and start firefox inside an aoss-environment with the
command "aoss firefox" instead of plain "firefox".

And bug the authors of every app that is still using OSS as default on linux...
