[SOLVED] Single audio source (can't play multiple audio sources)

Hi,

I have  been having this problem in my arch laptop for a long time until I decided to put an end to it. I am using Gnome 3 and pulseaudio, and whenever an app "grabs" the audio, it won't release it, meaning no other apps can play sound. Even when one firefox tab grabs the audio (for instance, Gtalk notifications, youtube videos...) no other tabs can play it. I can avoid the problem if I reload the tab, or close the app.

Is it a weird problem? Is it related to pulseaudio? I haven't found information related to this.

Thank you.

Ah man, I was so excited to find a post on this already, but disappointed that no one has a solution for it
