In fact, based upon some past tunneling experience, I don't believe you need to even start FF from the command line using the -P option.  I think you can just file > new > open new browser window (or similar) from within FF.  Set the proxy settings on the new browser window to tunnel.  The original browser window will still use your std enet interface without tunneling.  Because both browser windows are running under the same user, I would imagine the sound should work the same for both.  Not as convenient as separate users but will get you to listening to music faster.

I'm fairly sure that will not work like that.  All Firefox windows in
the same process share settings.
