I am on Gutsy amd64, upgraded from Feisty, which caused me some woes which involved ditching esound in favor of PulseAudio. I get the same symptoms as described above, and in addition, a host of error messages from Firefox:

ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

When I upgraded to Pulse, I had to reconfigure e.g. xmms so that it would work; it seems that opening up the preferences and making some change, then reverting it and closing the preferences was sufficient. (Humor me.)

For what it's worth, some discussions on similar topics seem to mention Nvidia video drivers in passing. I have those drivers, too.

Installing 32-bit libasyncns0 did nothing to solve this for me. Or do I need the libflashsupport as well before it will work?
