I am using artsd as sound server.
It requires that programs that will try to write directly to /dev/dsp,
be run with artsdsp.
To solve that problem I modified the mozilla shell script to add artsdsp.
Now it read like this: ( at the end of /usr/bin/mozilla)
exec artsdsp $MOZILLA $*
Then, restart mozilla.
