I'm running both KDE and Ratpoison; iceweasel is one of the browsers
used. Thanks for that pointer.

I rebooted my computer, started playing music. Then, I browsed with
iceweasel, afterwhich i played music again. But I don't seem to be able
to reproduce the failure.

Nevertheless, I installed alsa-oss, and edited /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc
to ICEWEASEL_DSP="aoss". 

Thanks again!
