What does it mean exactly? Problems with sound, problems with graphics  
(no display at all), or both? Can you please check in the sysctl's  
related to sound for a mmap or linux related sysctl and set it to "1"?

Have you updated FreeBSD at the same time (as in "before the last use  
of flash and the update of firefox")?

Please keep it on RELENG_6. I merged some changes from -current and it  
would be nice if you could check if the problem is not because of  
those changes.

If you have changed FreeBSD, and if it worked before, it would be nice  
if you could go back on RELENG_6 and try to nail down a commit which  
caused this problem.

Bye,
Alexander.
