I've seen this bug on Gutsy (using ALSA), but it's now extremely prevalent in (the latest beta version of) Hardy. When I enable FLASH_AUDIODEBUG, I get the following output:

This happened immediately after opening any movie on YouTube. Nowadays I seem to have a 50/50 chance of Firefox crashing if I move to or from a page containing a Flash movie.
