The 7.0 flash player for Linux uses OSS, I don't
think there is anyway to change that.

Don't know about Gentoo much, but Ubuntu installs
firefox with a rc file as /etc/firefox/firefoxrc.

If you use artsd (KDE) or esd (GNOME), try setting:

FIREFOX_DSP="artsdsp"
or
FIREFOX_DSP="esddsp"

The firefox script wrapper reads this file, and starts
the firefox binary with this as a sound wrapper.
