You have all alsa-related packages installed? Does Fedora have an
alsa-oss package?
If it's really unavailable that has to be considered a bug. As you have
seen, it's sometimes the only way to make sound work properly!

Hmm, it might be a Ubuntu thing. Did /etc/firefox/firefoxrc exist

Other people have told me they have no /etc/firefox/firefoxrc. It might
be specific to my distro.
I guess you could just move firefox to firefox-binary or something, then
make /usr/bin/firefox a script that just does "aoss firefox-binary".
But, this is really the kind of thing your distro should handle for you.
File a Fedora bug report.
