This sounds like a flashplugin issue. By default it is using ALSA, but  
as we do not have support for it, there's a "plugin" for flash, which  
replaces the ALSA stuff with OSS stuff. Try to find out what it is  
using. Maybe provide "pkginfo| grep linux" and someone here is able to  
tell you what is wrong.

Bye,
Alexander.
