Don't forget that both opera and opera-flashplugin are in the ports
tree. The new "linux flash" if supported, would probably be used
in a similar fashion (compat et al..) but it uses ALSA. As you know,
ALSA is the (advanced) linux sound architecture.
Yeah but then I'd have to use Opera.
This is a problem that
would consume time for not much gained in return--the easy solution to
watching inane flash animations and google videos in your browser is as
simple as installing linux. Just use ssh X forwarding. You DO have more
than one box, don't you?
I just use Windows for flash, it works best on that. And no, I don't
actually have any spare boxes at the moment, at least none that I'm
willing to waste on Linux.
