Greedy Sounds Applications

[Kent Borg]

I can't get output from more than one application at once.  That is, if 
I launch Rhythmbox it can make noise, but Youtube videos from Firefox 
can't.  Or, if I first play sound from Firefox, Rhythmbox cannot make 
any noise.  Rhythmbox *thinks* it is playing, but I don't hear anything.

If I quit both the first one I launch will have the ability to play sounds.

I am running a clean install of 8.04 (though old home directory).

Suggestions?



Thanks,
