I had to add a ~/.asoundrc with the following contents:

If I understand well that means that the default is Pulseaudio for all
applications. Now I can have Firefox and Amarok playing sound at the
same time. I'm not sure why I need this, I read somewhere that
the .asoundrc file is not really needed except if you have special
hardware (my laptop is Dell Inspiron 1420, rather standard I think).
Yes, the above is supposed to already be the default setup.
Now I'm looking for the problem of not being able to run Skype
and
Google-Talk plugin.
Do you have alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 and pulseaudio-libs.i686 installed?
That crappy proprietary software still doesn't understand what "64-bit"
means, and you need the above 32-bit multilibs for them to actually work
with PulseAudio.
