I recently upgraded to Ubuntu Hardy Heron which uses firefox-3.0. The
flash audio (ie. in YouTube) does not work. I believe this is because
firefox tries to use the sound card instead of my logitech USB speakers.
I can play all other audio without problem (ie. with Rythmbox).

Old Fix for Firefox-2: I could edit the /etc/firefox/firefoxrc file by
ensuring that the “FIREFOX_DSP" parameter was set to aoss (ie.
“FIREFOX_DSP=aoss”).

Why this does not work for Firefox-3.0: There is no firefoxrc file to
edit.
