Flash, sound and SMB

A friend sent me a URL to an unbelievably funny site but when I visited
later yesterday, it wasn't nearly as funny because the sound had
disappeared. This morning, I discovered the immediate cause but haven't
a clue about why ONLY the flash player's sound was affected. (Mail
notification sound worked and I watched a few minutes of a DVD
("Chicago") using XINE and sound was normal.)
It turned out that I had shut off a Win98 box on my humble network
without first unmounting its Samba shares. The clue came when an lsof
command hung. With the shares unmounted, lsof worked and flash sound
worked again. The URL in question is

Everything else is pretty much "vanilla".
I added the "noauto" to the last 2 lines above just a few minutes ago,
but that certainly won't prevent a recurrence of the problem. Perhaps
someone will come up with a short script to automagically issue a couple
of umount commands when the LAN link goes down.
