Ummm,

root@box:~# file /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel
/usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel: Bourne shell script text executable

which eventually runs firefox-bin. So:

ldd /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin | less

should help.

I just found

root@wks:/# cat /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc
# which /dev/dsp wrapper to use
ICEWEASEL_DSP="auto"

I changed it to none and everything is fine now :-)

lol, mine was different. for me i had to use:
ICEWEASEL_SDP="auto"

i think my problem was that Iceweasel was trying to use "psdsp"
(Pulseaudio?) and i don't have that set up yet. i keep hoping that a
meta package will automagically take care of it for me.

anyway i opened a terminal and typed:
sudo gedit /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc
and changed the "psdsp" to "auto" and now it seems to work fine.

But can you get audio from another app while IW is running?

Haven't tried it yet; the machine is across town, and I don't get to
spend much time experimenting with it.
