Thank you.
I didn't find "media.mp3.enabled" or anything even when filtering mp3 i about:config.
I uninstalled mplayerplug-in to test the support and mp3 was supported when i tested on that page.
No mplayerplug-in and no gst that's not default in slackware-current was installed during test.
The only thing that wasn't supported was flac.
I dug around a little and the mp3 support is currently provided by gst-plugins-good-1.6.2 but you still need gst-plugins-base-1.6.2 but those are default in an full slackware installation.

That is why CTM said "create". Right click > new > Boolean.

LOL, smashes my head against the wall.
It's not easy being dyslexic.

finally fix this problem for my setup.
Change ALSA format S16_LE to S32_LE and modify period_time too; find this solution with speaker-test.

Test ALSA format with speaker-test. Change alsa format from S16_LE (default) to S32_LE
modify periods, period_time; buffer_time should be 0 (default zero).

Example:
rate 48000
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 2048
period_time 8533
period_size 16384
periods 32

try comparing different period_time to get best sound quality.
