Hi!
- Use alsa-oss to allow Firefox (or its plugins) play sound. AFAIK
they use OSS now, which will fail in most cases, because /dev/dsp is almost constantly in use by arts/esd/whatever.
Last time I tried, on a 64-bit platform you can not use alsa-oss with 32-bit Firefox. Still nice if you happen to be running at the native wordsize, though.
Hmmm, the only thing I can say for sure is: it works in F7. ;-) I did not thing about it and just tried it. After I've patched the Firefox start script and let it point to /usr/lib/mozilla (not lib64) I simply did
aoss firefox
and it was good enough. I would investigate it deeper, but the problem is: I have no access to this machine any more. It was my friend's laptop.
