I just found out I have an issue with audio playing in iceweasel, but NOT in google-chrome. I've mostly used iceweasel, but lately, every morning when I try to listen live to a news show ( http://wsbradio.com/ - listen live) the audio comes out either garbled, or not at all. usually I just do: /etc/init.d/alsasound restart . It crashed iceweasel, and when I restart iceweasel, audio works. Today I decided to just fire up google-chrome, and went to that listen live, and IT WORKED. any clues as to the difference in sound capabilities?
I have the same problem with firefox. After it's been open for a few hours that happens to the audio. Doing a killall -9 firefox-bin and then restarting it (with the killall it'll restore all the tabs and windows) restores the audio. I've found the same thing if I leave alsaplayer open overnite. The problem with google-chrome is that it will run my loads way up (6-10) if I leave it open overnite. I very seldom close a browser and usually have multiple windows with multiple tabs open.
