I didn't actually think it has something to do with sound as (a) konqueror is configured to use artsdsp for flash, and still it didn't work, and (b) the error above is an X error. Anyway - I logged out of the guy's KDE session and started a GNOME session for him, where flash worked. I started arts and flash still worked. I ran firefox under artsdsp and flash also played sounds. We then went back to KDE where flash continue to work properly (with sound when running under artsdsp, which is not preconfigured although I remember that Mandrake used to have all GNOME apps run using a "soundwrapper" script which would select ESD or arts depending on what is available).
