[ltp] Problem with xmms and Flash

Hi!

I have a T23 and I'm using ALSA with the intel8x0 driver for sound. My
problem is that xmms and Flash-enabled websites (no matter if I'm
using Mozilla 1.0 or Netscape 4.79) won't work at the same time: If
xmms is running and playing music the browser will completely hang
when trying to play a Flash movie until I stop the music. And vice
versa: While the movie is playing I can't restart the music. The Flash
plugin is 5.0r48.

Has anybody else encountered this problem or is something wrong with
my setup?

This is rather annoying to me as I like to listen to music while I'm
working (and while my I'm not at home). But I have to browse the web
rather often and very many websites nowadays include Flash movies
unfortunately...

Thanks for your help,
Edi.

PS: I have tried both the OSS driver and the ALSA output plugin with
    xmms - no difference.
