sometime sound in FC2?

I upgraded fro FC1 to FC2 mostly to get the new kernel. I saw the benefits 
right away, but there were some issues. One was that my trusty xmms stopped 
working on mp3s that were ok before. I get a message every time telling me 
that output is blocked, and am advised to check that no other program is 
running and using the device. Fair enough, it wasn't a very high priority so 
I parked it and got on with my routine use of the computer.

One thing I did was to download the dynebolic live CD (very interesting piece 
of Rasta software, with good media capabilities). Using xmms on that distro 
(based on Knoppix) worked just fine. So I think that eliminates hardware 
failure. But I didn't see what else to do.

Today, while looking at a web site I clicked on a flash animation link and got 
sound! for the first time in two or three months. Wel, what gives? I tried to 
open an mp3 directly in Firefox (0.9.3) and that works ok. I thought maybe 
the browser was blocking xmms (although it didn't with FC1) so I logged out, 
logged back in and tried xmms. No go. Firefox still plays ok.

Ideas?
