Lichess captures audio device with Chromium?

Hi thibault, I am using Chromium on Debian GNU/Linux. My problem is that when I am on lichess, Chromium captures my audio device so I can't listen to music while the page is open. I have already disabled the sounds via the button at the top, but it doesn't help.

When I open VLC after opening Lichess, I get the message "Audio output failed: The audio device "sysdefault:CARD=Intel" could not be used: Device or resource busy."

When I close Lichess, and open VLC, then it works. Also when I open Lichess afterwards it works as long as I keep VLC running.

This problem is really annoying and it only happens on Lichess. Does not happen with Youtube or similar.
I have the same problem, using the last version of Safari.
Thanks for mentioning! I hope someone will fix this, the problem still exists for me.
