firefox + alsa = silence

I would like to get audio working in firefox without resorting to pulse. Using a Cambridge Audio DacMagic, I have sound working in deadbeef with digital passthrough, chrome apparently using pcm (hard to be sure), mplayer with digital passthrough, and command line stuff like speaker-test. Firefox refuses to produce sound, and gives no errors on the console.

fuser -v /dev/snd/* shows nothing when firefox is running but the other programs I mentioned show up.

.asoundrc is:

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card C20
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card C20
}

which was necessary to get chrome to work. Any suggestions?
