You have all alsa-related packages installed? Does Fedora have an
alsa-oss package?
If it's really unavailable that has to be considered a bug. As you have
seen, it's sometimes the only way to make sound work properly!
But still, my Firefox does not seem to use the
FIREFOX_DSP variable,
either in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc, or in ~/.firefoxrc, or as an
exported
variable in the shell that launches Firefox.
The only way that it works is to launch Firefox like this:
Hmm, it might be a Ubuntu thing. Did /etc/firefox/firefoxrc exist
already, or did you have to create it?
$ aoss firefox
Then it works, XMMS and Flash have sound at the same time.
Is that some kind of compile switch for Firefox, that enables that
feature, and it's disabled on my distro?
Other people have told me they have no /etc/firefox/firefoxrc. It might
be specific to my distro.
I guess you could just move firefox to firefox-binary or something, then
make /usr/bin/firefox a script that just does "aoss firefox-binary".
But, this is really the kind of thing your distro should handle for you.
File a Fedora bug report.
