Weird sound playback problem

Hello people

I'm getting a strange problem since a week or two with my sound playback.
Sometimes, after I launch a flash application in Firefox (like watching a video on youtube or a flash game), either the browser or my music player don't give any sound.
I use Clementine as my main player, and when this happens, I try to play any song, but it doesn't start. Same happens if I try to play it on VLC. When this happens, I have sound in Firefox, but no sound in the rest of the apps.
Is there any log I can submit or something?
Any help will be much apreciated. Thanks!

Oh, sorry, I'm running alsa.

EDIT: I've figured out what was the problem. Apparently, the flash plugin keeps working even after I close the tab or the browser (the process can be seen in the Gnome system monitor). Killing the process fixes the issue. I have to investigate if it's a problem with flash, although probably it's because I'm using Firefox 4.0 Beta 8.
