It does not seem to be an alsa versus oss issue, but aRts (KDE) versus esd 
(Gnome).  Although mine is working.  Meaning Firefox.  But I have a similar 
issue with sound.  I found that when aRts is running, a console program 
called "saytime" will not work.  If I disable system sounds in KDE it does 
work...  I am running Debian Sid, so I hope it is resolved soon.  Someone 
said that their sound issue was resolved by creating a new user.  Hard to 
imagine that that would work here unless an update was done right after the 
initial installation...
