Re: [gentoo-user] firefox locks up when looking at flash
I guess that's my problem too. How do I know what's using OSS? Can I just disable it completely while leaving ALSA intact? ALSA usually emulates OSS (it's an kernel building option). You can switch it off, but unfortunately there are still a lot of apps which only can output sound via OSS: Firefox, Skype, you name it. Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It didn't help me :( still crash soemtimes on flash movies. Sometimes it works, but others it just locks firefox up, only way out of it is to kill it and remove flash. Annoying, but not the end of the world. kill all apps which use your OSS audio device /dev/dsp. I guess some soundserver is blocking it and firefox simply waits for the device to be freed. If this helps then ensure to have a recent ALSA version which does softwaremixing by default and ask the firefox developers to switch from OSS to ALSA.
