Is the usb one the only audio device you have? if not, does the integrated one
works if you do not plug the usb one? Do you have something in your ~/.asoundrc
or /etc/asound.conf?

no ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf.
builtin works with everything, including swfdec

Another couple of check please: if you run firefox from a console do you see
any error message related to audio like "Failed to open sound device"?
then if
you run 'lsof | grep firefox', can you see which audio device it is
opening?
it'll be useful if you can do the same with banshee and see if it is opening
something else. Thank you.

Could be that opening 'default' in swfdec-gtk/swfdec_playback_alsa.c:293
still
opens the integrated one and its output goes to /dev/null or it is muted or
whatever?

among other things, there is this continuous segment of output at startup:
Loading stream: https://us.etrade.com/flash/login/rsa_fso.swf
unhandled event 19
unhandled event 19
unhandled event 19
Loading stream: https://www.paypal.com/en_US/m/mid.swf


no errors about 'unable to open device'

lsof|grep banshee hangs with no output...


I will try more later.

David, you can "fix" this by changing the default ALSA card.
You can get a list of available cards with
asoundconf list

and set the default one with this substiting CARD with your card's name.

asoundconf set-default-card CARD

Then if you start firefox it should use the right one.

Banshee works because gstreamer does not use the 'default' one, instead
it
create a list of available devices.
