Comment 85 for bug 732572

This is definitely not fixed for me (SeaMonkey-2.10.1, Gentoo Build). My box uses KDE/Phonon over ALSA; I don't use, and neither want to try, any other sound daemon; workaround from Comment #61 doesn't solve the issue.

Since ALSA is the de facto standard for sound in Linux, and *any* other sound daemon relies on it, I suggest to interface directly to ALSA. Using higher level interfaces such as esound or pulseaudio (or, as far as I'm concerned, Phonon), is IMHO overkill and adds useless dependencies to Mozilla applications.
