I can confirm this too (Hardy Heron Alpha-6). Only first-started application (VLC, rhytmbox, Firefox etc.) is able to use sound output. But if I switch to another terminal (mean CTRL+ALT+F[1-6]), the sound is lost. Returning back to GUI, sound start to play again. The only exception that's always able to play the music (without any conflict) is MOC (music on console player).
