firefox / rhythmbox sound issues

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

I've noticed that when I have firefox open (haven't checked this w/ other 
browsers) and have watched/listened to a file with sound, I can't later 
open rhythmbox and listen to a sound file or podcast.

Is this a configuration issue where both apps can be open and used at 
least alternately, if not concurrently?

Thanks.
