I am on Gutsy amd64, upgraded from Feisty, which caused me some woes
which involved ditching esound in favor of PulseAudio.  I get the same
symptoms as described above, and in addition, a host of error messages
from Firefox:

ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open 
slave
ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open 
slave
ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open 
slave
ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open 
slave

When I upgraded to Pulse, I had to reconfigure e.g. xmms so that it
would work; it seems that opening up the preferences and making some
change, then reverting it and closing the preferences was sufficient.
(Humor me.)

For what it's worth, some discussions on similar topics seem to mention
Nvidia video drivers in passing.  I have those drivers, too.

Installing 32-bit libasyncns0 did nothing to solve this for me.  Or do I
need the libflashsupport as well before it will work?
