Is there anything similar for Fedora? Would I have this problem if I
used the RPM?
AFAIK fedora does not ship alsa-oss since fc4. I have the same issue though.

Mmmh... that (Firefox being unable to play sounds if other app is
accessing /dev/something) is very annoying. Can someone confirm this is
really due to the lack of some package (eg. alsa-oss) or to Firefox
being misconfigured on Fedora? I'd really like to solve this issue,
because, after all, if Ubuntu folks managed to solve it, I can't see
why we wouldn't be able to do it on Fedora as well.
as far as I understand, this is not firefox's issue, but macromedia flash plugin does not support alsa output only oss. There is a thread in archives of this mail list where fedora guys are explaining why the refuse to support alsa-oss. I use to ask this question concerning skype, but it is not a problem for me anymore because skype 1.3 can do alsa, and more than that - I'm not using skype anymore :)
