After some further playing around, this does have something to do with Flash grabbign \
the sound for itself. when i restarted FireFox, before i played a YouTube video in \
it, i ran another app, and sound worked fine. After I played a Flash video, that app \
could no longer get sound.

And opening up a new browser, sound doesnt work in that one either. As long as the \
original browser is open, weather or not theres sound playing, nothing else can get \
sound.

does that help narrow things down?
