Comment 3 for bug 305742

I just tested to change in sound preferences tab devices from auto detect
where I heard just those strange noises to OSS-Open Sound System and worked
fine.It does not work with ALSA and PulseAudio. With those i only hear a
sound that looks like static electricity. However in firefox i continue just
only hearing this static noise. In rythmbox all works ok.
