The Problem:
Using native Mozilla and
linuxpluginwrapper/linux-flashplugin (on 4.10-stable
et al) to view flash content results in no sound and
occasional Mozilla freezes.
The Solution:
Run esd.
How:
I was searching the web for the solution, and got
nowhere. There didn't seem to be anyone who had gotten
it to work. Linux mailing lists noted a problem with
file permissions on /dev/snd or /dev/pcm* depending on
the sound system drivers installed. My /dev/pcm* file
permissions were all rw to begin with, so this didn't
help.
I wondered what device the plugin was actually trying
to access, so I did "strings
/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so"
and found /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer. Nearby in the list
I noticed a few lines relating to esd. From a command
line I started esd and went back to view some content
that had previously frozen Mozilla, and there was
sound coming out my speakers and the browser did not
hang.
I had long suspected the browser hangs were related to
sound in the flash content. My results seem to confirm
that suspicion.
Do you have an example (or two or more) of a page that causes the crash?
I'd like to test this on 5.3-R. I know I used to have an email around
here somewhere with examples ...
Speaking of flashplugin crashes: There is some flash content
out there which makes my firefox crash (not due to sound but
for some other reasons). One example is:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5961030392
I'd like to know if other people also experience crashes
when viewing this page. The flash content isn't obvious
to find: When the page has opened search for the string
"Setzen Sie die Andale Gallery". Directly above is the
flash part. I can only view this page when disabling
the linux-flashplugin :-(
Thanks,

That worked ok for me without crashing. One site that I know always
Hmm, I think the ebay stuff is very dynamic. Maybe there are
some local browser settings which influence the output.
Did you find the flash content in the page?
Yes. I found it and clicked on a few things and it seemed to be ok.
crashes my browser is this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/
Just click on any of the photos there and the new page will load up and
crash. If anyone cares I have attached the backtrace from the crash below.
Same here :-(.
