Are you trying to do that at the same time (ekiga + listening to
podcast) ? If so, it's normal, since ekiga need exclusive access to the
audio device.

If you aren't doing this at the same time, do you wait for some time
after the device is released by both rhythmbox and firefox ? does ps x
|grep esd show esd running ?
