No wrapper, though 'alsa-oss' package is installed.  See output in 
message #46 of this bug report:

     $ cat /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc
     # which /dev/dsp wrapper to use
     ICEWEASEL_DSP="none"

May I ask if sound is working for you with the linux.com video mentioned 
in message #46?


Thanks,
