My firefox install is 64-bit, but the flash player is 32-bit.  I used the 
nspluginwrapper program to install the flash player to make it work in the 
64-bit environment.  Flash media does play in firefox but there is no 
sound...hence this post.  In fact the "preloading" error message appears only 
when I load a web page that has a flash object.  

I suspected the 32-bit/64-bit discrepancy was the problem, and had been asking 
for help in other forums  but couldn't get a solution --

So the next question is, how do I compile alsa-oss-1.0.15 as a 32-bit shared 
object on my x86_64 system?  There is no README in the source directory.
