Any browser that uses the netscape flash plugin (Konqueror, Mozilla based, Opera) will suspend the loading of a page containing flash if an audio player (Apollo + mpg123 in my case) is in use. I am using usb sound. Kernel version 2.4.19-r1. Upon closing the mp3 player, the browser will then resume loading the webpage. Note: I was able to find a person with the same problem on google groups using Mandrake 8.0, but I did not see a solution posted.
Not sure if we're capable of fixing this. Forwarding to verwilst for input.
This isn't something we can fix IMHO.. Try the new flash version (5.0.48), or a new kernel, maybe that will solve it.. Sorry, closing bug..
Something that I just tried was the open source flash player (http://www.swift- tools.com/Flash/ .. I don't think there isn't an ebuild yet). The sound problem is solved using this plug-in, although the plugin is beta and does not display all animations correctly. However, for simple sites it seems sufficent to do the job.
