[mdlug] Fixing sound problem in Firefox

[Drew]

     I decided to try a couple of other programs in the host OS; 
Sound works normally in
Helix Player (playing a WAV file) and in Rythmbox (playing CD tracks) 
but does not
work in Xine (playing a movie .VOB file; I again get sound but no 
picture.)  (And I know
that the .VOB contains a soundtrack all by itself because I've played 
standalone .VOBs
and gotten sound before, on other systems.)

     Anyways, here are the results of "sudo ps aux" with most of each 
line edited out:

     Now can anyone pick out the sound handler?
