OK.  Additional info required:

1) Build id
2) What permissions the browser _does_ have for /dev/dsp
3) What plugins you have installed
4) Whether you're running the browser remotely over X

Please post these comments in this bug; do not email me directly.

[e-mail], do you also see this crash with a recent nightly?  I cannot
reproduce this problem with a build from 2001-06-26, Flash 5, Redhat 6.2 (kernel
2.2.18), and the same permissions on /dev/dsp
