My first thougth would be esd hold the sound card and so flash can't get
a lock to it. Maybe killing esd before starting the browser would solve
it.
But, IIRC, the flash player is a bit crappy when dealing with sound on
Linux. I recall using a system with only alsa drivers (it was not
ubuntu), without the OSS modules and it simply refused to work.
Everything else worked just fine.
