Comment:
Ok.  Some more investigation yields different results.  It appears that
firefox is blocking access to the sound  device.  If I quit firefox and
start rhythmbox (or other gstreamer based apps) sound works fine.  Also,
if I start the sound apps before running firefox, I'm also fine.  I'm
going to try to find out if it's the gnu flash plugin or what in firefox
that's blocking audio for other apps.
