Hi Elton Luis,
If you have compiled firefox with Pulseaudio support you may want to check
PA's settings. From the command line, you can reroute audio with something
like "pactl move-sink-input 3 oss_output.dsp0". You can inspect clients
using PA with "pactl list". I'm pretty sure there are some graphical
options like gnome-audio-settings or something like that, but I haven't got
them installed.
Otherwise there is a sysctl variable, hw.snd.default_unit, which you may
also want to check. Set it to your desired output before launching firefox
(if you don't have PA support compiled in).
Hope that helps,
Fernando
