A Sound IO problem, methinks. I have found the same with the MacroMedia Flash 
plugin enabled with Mozilla and any other browser using the mozilla core (eg 
phoenix) if you are using arts (enabled by default on KDE) as this blocks 
access to /dev/dsp.
With some helper programs like RealPlayer, you can get around this by callling 
them through the "artsdsp" wrapper but I have not yet worked out how to do 
this with the flash plugin....

For RealPlayer, I did the following:

in /usr/bin, rename "realplay" to "realplay.bin" and create a new shell script 
containing:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/artsdsp /usr/bin/realplay.bin

Best Wishes

Pieter
