ARIFF_OSS option/patch in audio/alsa-plugins is not really maintained
and probably only needed for 7.x which is now EOL. It has a known
issue (see ports/170473) where www/firefox built with ALSA would
crash unless you set media.use_cubeb -> false in about:config.

If you don't use youtube.com/html5 then my guess would be an issue
with IPC e.g., libevent14 is getting in the way again. Try setting
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled -> false.
