Nope, that's the applet mixer (the system tray applet for volume) so 
don't kill it! :-)

"lsof" output looks right, I mean, there is no evidence of additional 
services making use of audio device that could be interferring. 

So let's back to the original problem, you lose sound when playing 
online videos (I guess they're flash based). Hum... do you have the 
latest Adobe flash player plugin installed? 

You can check it in this link:

For 32-bits systems is 10.3.181.34
For 64-bits systems is 11.0.1.60
