lsof | grep dsp
to see if dsp is buzy
I had this issue (not only on etch)
seems the flash player is using dsp
so you have to use aoss
try aoss firefox to enable it
there is shell variable you can export - something like MOZILLA_OSS or a
like.
try googling for it
other issue is that some flash players require 44100Hz PCM so check this if
the first does not help. ALSA default is 48000 but it should convert on the
fly, so I'll bet for the first one
