Call for help with firefox 3.5

I made Firefox 3.5 (wip/firefox in the pkgsrc) work on DragonFly. Thanks 
to Matt who implemented shared POSIX semaphores in 10 minutes HTML5 
video/audio tags are working now as well (you need a very recent master 
for that). There is still problems though.

In videos there are sync problems (audio is about second behind the 
picture) and it crashes often while seeking or if video just finishes 
playing.

My guess is that it's related OSS backend because nobody actually uses it 
in the upstream (I don't think that any OS relevant today except FreeBSD 
and DragonFly use OSS by default at all). There are several commits into 
other backends to solve sync problems, but none into OSS code. Therefore 
call for help - if you can and understand what OSS is (I don't ;), please 
look at it.
