The freeze happens on my *host* Linux PC. For an experiment I decided
to check if I could reproduce the freeze under a virtual machine - it
turns out the Linux kernel running under it also freezes.
I know that - but a freeze != oops - at least not necessarily. Which
means it could very well be a different issue now that vbox is gone.

Or, it could be the same issue with different incarnations: with vbox
you get the corruptions and without it, you get the freezes. I'm
assuming you do the same flash player thing in both cases?

Here's a crazy idea: can you try to reproduce it in KVM?
OK, dismiss VBox altogether - it has a very buggy USB implementation, thus
it just hangs when trying to access my webcam.

What I've found out is that my system crashes *only* when I try to enable
usb-audio (from the same webcam) - I still have no idea how to capture a
panic message, but I ran

"while :; do dmesg -c; done" in xterm, then I got like thousands of messages
and I photographed my monitor:

I cannot show you more as I have no serial console to use :( and the kernel
doesn't have enough time to push error messages to rsyslog and fsync
