Does Fedora have an alsa-oss package? If it's really unavailable that has to be considered a bug.

Other people have told me they have no /etc/firefox/firefoxrc. It might be specific to my distro.

But, this is really the kind of thing your distro should handle for you. File a Fedora bug report. Lee
