    No sound in flash? Try this.

    After weeks of searching for a solution, this has finally got sound in flash working for me.

    # Flash also looks for /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1

    # Flash expects /tmp/.esd/socket to exist.
    sudo mkdir -p /tmp/.esd/
    sudo touch /tmp/.esd/socket

    Thanks for this,

    I was sorta stumped as to why sound worked in firefox but not epiphany. That fixed it all up for me

    Oh my god! You are my saviour!!! I have tried for hours and I always got choppy sound when playing flash video. It is finally fixed. I can now watch youtube and google videos without having to download them and convert.

    Thank you so much calx. You made my day!

    Yeeee Haaaaaaa! I've read so many posts about this, including all the "can't be fixed, wait for flash 9, yadda yadda". This fix works perfectly for me on dapper. Now I can watch all that pointless, moronic flash content! Thank you.

    I'm currently using this asound.conf to get my optical out working:
    Code:
    pcm.!default {
            type plug
            slave.pcm "dmixer"
    }
    
    pcm.dmixer  {
            type dmix
            ipc_key 1024
            slave {
                    pcm "hw:0,1"
                    format S32_LE
                    period_time 0
                    period_size 1024
    
    # increased buffer_size because in my system 1024 cause bad
    # audio performance (for totem media player and mplayer)
                    buffer_size 8096
    
                    rate 44100
            }
            bindings {
                    0 0
                    1 1
            }
    }
    
    ctl.dmixer {
            type hw
            card 0
            device 1
    }

    Very odd.

    Before running this I had sound with flash in firefox but not epiphany.

    After I have sound in epiphany but now no sound in firefox.

    Its not a huge problem now, just a bit puzzled. Anyone notice similar, or have ideas as to a fix? I may just undo it for now since I use FF more than epiphany

    Impressive work !

    Edit: I'm experiencing out-of-sync audio with flash sound, it's off by about a half-second. Anyone else getting this?
