Hi Mike,<br>
<br>
I tried to follow the suggestions on<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre>This hints that firefox is not using PulseAudio. Maybe this
documentation helps a bit...
<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio</a>
</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
but as I'm using Debian Squeeze and not Ubuntu, it is more of a
trial and error experience.<br>
<br>
I did three things:<br>
a) Install some more pulseaudio-related packages, among them
"paman", which confirms that I have a working pulseaudio
connection between host and client, from what I can tell<br>
b) Create the /etc/asound.conf file as described on the
wiki.ubuntu.com page<br>
c) Run paplay somefile.wav to confirm that sound works on the
commandline - it does.<br>
<br>
Now, when I try to run a Youtube video in Iceweasel, it freezes
and I see the following stuff on the command line:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect)
PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Zeitüberschreitung<br>
<br>
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1401:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card</blockquote>

Next up: Trying to follow John A. Sullivan III's reply.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
