Oh I see, for crash I understood it has closed abnormally, what
happened to you is looks what I would call a freeze =3D)

So, that makes things a little difficult, as is hard to trace...

Well that points to the road I was trying to take: sound problem. What
I can't figure out is why it is hanging. Here in my PC, before I
installed pulseaudio, I was unable to hear two sounds from different
sources, because my machine has no hardware mixer, and I user a multi
device to play stereo sounds (upmixing 2.0 to 7.1 stream), but when I
tried to play something in firefox, it just wouldn't play the sound,
but work silently without any problems.

Do you have an /etc/asound.conf (or ~/.asoundrc) file? Can you post
the contents of it?
