As of kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i586 and alsa-lib version 1.0.20-1, I am still seeing this (with pulseaudio). Output from /var/log/messages:

This happens always when I try to play something from youtube (sound disappear after a while). If I restart firerox and replay, the audio works again for a moment and then goes away (with the above messages in the syslog). I suppose that this is my audio card (from lspci):
