As far as i know firefox is trying to access /dev/dsp directly without using any sound daemon. But sound daemons are common (artsd for kde, esd aka esoundd one some other wms)), some applications (e. g. k3b) are even known to start a sound daemon without being in the right window manager. So it might be a good idea to try to terminate both of them if you have them running, restarting firefox then. I know that mplayer can automatically detect the sound-daemons... not knowing about totem though. Maybe just try it and if not, check back again. Maybe someone else has a different idea.
