Mmmh... that (Firefox being unable to play sounds if other app is
accessing /dev/something) is very annoying. Can someone confirm this is
really due to the lack of some package (eg. alsa-oss) or to Firefox
being misconfigured on Fedora? I'd really like to solve this issue,
because, after all, if Ubuntu folks managed to solve it, I can't see
why we wouldn't be able to do it on Fedora as well.

TIA

Andre
