[SLE] SUSE 10.1 Sound problems with Firefox

Hi
I have been trying for quite some time now, to figure out my problem
with no sound in Firefox.
I'm thinking sound embedded in flash, movies etc., everything with sound
in it.

Here's a summary:
I have permissions to /dev/dsp's
I am a member of the audio group
I can play sound through any other app, using oss or alsa
Sound in other browsers work perfectly (Mozilla for instance)

Sound in Firefox actually does work, when i shutdown TeamSpeak wich only
occupies /dev/dsp0
This leaves /dev/dsp open, which Mozilla, XMMS, and other apps gladly use.
But Firefox won't.
