Try updating past bug 211684 fix.

Firefox just prefers PulseAudio if already installed by checking if dlopen()
succeeds. ALSA requires hacks on FreeBSD and even on Linux is poorly
maintained.

The third (hidden) option uses OSS directly if you deinstall alsa-lib after
build. SNDIO (see bug 212028) is another option.

Which one would be the default? I'm inclined to turn off ALSA. ;)
