digitalmars.D - [OT] Getting Flash to work in Firefox on Linux

I don't know about ubuntu, but in gentoo, flash sound wouldn't
work while I was using flash 7. I upgraded to netscape-flash-9 and
everything is hunky dory now. The problem is, your sound device is
being used by something else (lsof | grep /dev/snd). It's because the
old flash used oss, I think, and the new one uses alsa.
I wish I could say the same. I run Gentoo and can't get any sound out of
Firefox. I already upgraded to netscape-flash-9. I enabled ALSA support
and OSS support in the kernel, installed alsa-oss... I'm out of ideas.
I'm (roughly) in the same boat. This seems to be a topic in which quite
some people took interest, so by this I'm starting a new thread.
If anyone has ideas or pointers, please post here - thanks!

Of course, but that's not the point. We just want the sound to work in
Firefox. :)
Anyway, I've watched part of the video with Video Downloader. He's just
repeating the D documentation, and I've read that already.

There was also some talk about future directions, IIRC mostly near the end.

I know that can be "problems" with gentoo 64bit (I have amd64), but
gentoo users have solved flash problems from a while..
The best thing is to upgrade to flash 9 (the official version for linux
was relased in january 17, 2007), many audio problems has been fixed
(from flash 9 beta2).

I've used Flash 9 now for a couple of months. Is the 'official' version
not in portage yet?

Right. I've used that version for a good while now. The sound still
doesn't work.

99% it's a configuration problem, for example, have you compiled/loaded
oss module?

can you paste me "lsof | grep snd"
if you don't have lsof, emerge lsof
The reason why I say this is because if you have a device using the old oss
interface, I've seen my sound not work before. running that command, I can find
out what devices are using my sound, to close them

The output is empty.
Though let me clarify: I do get sound out of other applications (like
Xine). But only one application at a time.
Any ideas?

when I do:
L3 ~ # ls /dev/snd/
controlC0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p seq timer
does yours look like that too? It looks like xine is using a different
interface to the sound than it should. For example, I emerged gxine so I could
show you:
L3 ~ # lsof | grep xine | grep snd
gxine 6950 root mem CHR 116,16 2975
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
gxine 6950 root 9u CHR 116,0 2966
/dev/snd/controlC0
gxine 6950 root 15r CHR 116,33 3091
/dev/snd/timer
... truncated ...
I'm not exactly sure, but I'd look into that.

let me clarify, I mean I think *your* xine is using a different interface than
it should. Which one is it using for you? Also, if you lsof | grep /dev/dsp
does anything come up?

well, hmmm
it appears your problem is not having the pcm* devices. Those are pretty
important, because they're what receive the data to be put on the speakers.
Perhaps something's not right in udev or your kernel?

Well, I assure you I have done nothing exotic as root.
Anyway, it's just a slight annoyance. I might look deeper into it some day.

in your kernel, do you have:
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS: OSS PCM (digital audio) API
that's the last thing I can think of, other than possibly udev isn't getting
those devices. you definitely need the pcm devices, I know that :)

Yes, I do have that built in the kernel.

yes -- like returning tuples! That's the first I've heard that it's on
Walter's todo list.

I have Ubuntu 6.10, 64-bit, and got Flash 9 to work in Firefox with
sound and everything. I just followed this guide:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341727
I did have a audio recording problem in Skype, which I solved by
removing /etc/asound.conf.
