Well, looks like a classic: on some (most?) audio cards, ALSA only
supports a single stream. So if you start your flash playback, the audio
device is occupied and hence blocked for other apps.
The solution is to multiplex/mix in software, most commonly done with
pulseaudio these days.
Don't you have pulseaudio installed?
Also, make sure to redirect all ALSA output to pulseaudio. Either in
/etc/asound.conf or in ~/.asoundrc:
--- asound.conf ---
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
--- end of asound.conf ---
