How do you propose we solve this problem:

/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin: relocation
error: /usr/lib/libalsatoss.so.0: symbol
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near, version ALSA_0.9.0rc4 not defined in
file libasound.so.2 with link time reference

My apps are compiled against alsa-lib 1.0.9 but I have 1.0.11-rc2
installed.
