Don't know if this helps, but I find that if I've used a java applet
in Firefox that uses sound, it never releases the sound device. The
solution for that has been to quit Firefox and re-start it. That also
tends to bring about a speed improvement, since FF's java garbage
collection seems to be pretty poor.
