alsa mutex

Hi, I am experiencing some weird behaviour from alsa. It seems to make mutex access to the sound controller. for example: I have firefox or chromium started and I start to play some flash video (youtube) and even after I've stopped playing the video I cannot get any sound out of anything, my MPD falls from playing back to paused and cannot continue, vlc plays without sound. the problem is, that it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't... In my opinion this is caused by flash plugin.

[sdoky@sdoky-r400 ~]$ pacman -Qi flashplugin
Name           : flashplugin
Version        : 10.0.45.2-1
...

[sdoky@sdoky-r400 ~]$ pacman -Qi alsa-lib
Name           : alsa-lib
Version        : 1.0.23-1

thanks
