- 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.
On recent dmix-capable soundcards, this should not be a problem, no?
