Does muine unfreeze when you kill flash?

Any app using the obsolete OSS API (/dev/dsp) will block all other apps from using the soundcard. The apps need to be upgraded to use ALSA or run with the "aoss" wrapper.

firefox should be updated to use aoss to fix this bug.

added firefox to the affected packages, as I presume that flash is run from it. other packages should be fixed too, but I guess firefox is the one most used, so I only added that.
