[linux-audio-user] Weird glitchy noise in Mozilla

[Gustavo Zamorano S.]

I am using artsd as sound server.
It requires that programs that will try to write directly to /dev/dsp, 
be run with artsdsp.
To solve that problem I modified the mozilla shell script to add artsdsp.
Now it read like this:  ( at the end of /usr/bin/mozilla)

  exec artsdsp $MOZILLA $*


Then, restart mozilla.
