Felix, thank you for referencing that Firefox bug report. I saw I had not voted for it--just now fixed that. If you'd like some attention to be paid to fixing the Firefox bug, you might consider voting for it. (However, don't expect it. IME, platform-specific bugs don't get fixed--ever.) One alternative that IIUC _should_ work is to use ~/.asoundrc for a per-user workaround rather than /etc/asound.conf for an all-user workaround. Sorry, but I don't know anything that would likely help system sounds for a "desktop environment".
