[Bug 356687] [NEW] Firefox has ALSA/Pulse Audio issues when playing flash video

[schwascore]

Public bug reported:

1) Ubuntu 9.04 Development Branch
2) Firefox 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
3) Expected: Flash videos play with proper audio.
4) What happens:  Flash video plays the first 5-10 seconds and then the browser crashes.  This problem occurs on multiple websites (hulu, bbc, etc.).  Here is the terminal output from a crash:
