Firefox and XINE don't play nice. Help?

[Shoeberto]

Thanks for the advice. I tried ESD and Firefox is doing fine with it (so far) but Amarok seems to refuse to use anything but ALSA (unless I'm forgetting about some Amarok setting somewhere.) I like Amarok but I wouldn't be averse to trying other music players if that's the only issue so I'll look into that.

Are the Xine errors still popping up in Amarok?

Amarok is still using alsa on my system, apparently, but with everything running ESD (and therefore not touching and ultimately crashing ALSA), Amarok runs fine. I'm also running the AC97 onboard sound.
