[arch-general] Firefox and ALSA - Blocks other applications from using ALSA

[Samuel Baldwin]

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 3.5, every time I pause my music in
mpd I can't start it again so long as firefox is still running. I have
to kill firefox (literally kill; I tell it to quit, but the process
never dies, so I have to kill it by hand) to be able to play music
again. Sometimes I'd have this happen if I had a flash video with
sound open or something in earlier versions, but now it happens even
if I don't have any pages with flash open.

Any idea how I should get around this?
