Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:2.14.3.6
Severity: important

When gnome session is started, audio device is locked, and meny aplications cannot play sounds, only Gnome and Gnome aplicatios emit sounds.
For example, before start Gnome, i can play a WAV audio file with aplay command, but after gnome is started i cannot play sound with aplay, in gnome and in tty console i 
obtain this error:
	ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
	aplay: main:545: audio open error: Device or resource busy.
The result is that many other aplications as aMSN, amarok (this give also Device busy error), and videos from youtube doesn't sound, but media files played with totem 
sound, and also sound tests located in System -> Preferences -> Sound.
Thanks.
