Listen Audio Player when loading video from Youtube

Hi everybody

I'd like to solve such problem: when an online video (for example, from YouTube) is loading, the audio is completely controleld by firefox.
I mean...

Let us suppose I want to listen some songs while an online video is loading.
It seems I can't, as the audio "works only for the online video".

How can I decide which "sources" I want to listen?

Any ideas?

I don't know, linked wiki articles seem a bit difficult to me

Looking at the titles, however, it seem they not help me, as they talk about

NO SOUND IN FLASH

and this is not my problem (which is, in some sense, teh converse).

I'd like not to listen the sound of flash video within a web browser

No, I linked to the section above: Flash blocks sound and/or delayed playback. Scroll the page up a bit.

Flash uses alsa by default, making things work out of the box. So I'd actually look at you audio player as the source of the problem. Make sure it's configured to use the alsa "default" device.

The article in the wiki doesn't work to me :-(

Any ideas?
Which player do I set up?
