Steve, I think you might be right about this being Flash's fault. Thinking back, I think maybe the problem has only happened to me when I left Hulu open. And Flash's ALSA sound support is known to be buggy, so that would make sense. But unfortunately Pulse output is the default ALSA plugin for ALL users now, so we can't confirm this just by asking the people here if they each have that turned on.
Maybe another thing to find out is what Flash version we're all using? The bug might only affect certain versions. I'm using 10.0.1.218, installed via the flashplugin-nonfreebeta package. -- Can't play sound becuse of pulseaudio hang https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288093 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
