Description Derek Berube 2005-08-12 11:31:10 UTC
If you point your web browser to a web page that has a flash animation, then the
browser will hang.

media-sound/esound-0.2.36-r1
net-www/netscape-flash-7.0.25
www-client/epiphany-1.6.4
www-client/epiphany-extensions-1.6.4
www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r5

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure that the Enlightened Sound Daemon is running.
2. Open a web browser.
3. Go to a web site such as http://www.remedy.com/ which contains flash animations.


Actual Results:  
The web browser stops loading the page and hangs.  I can "Force Quit" the
application, but the browser GUI freezes.

Expected Results:  
The page should have completed loading and then rendered properly.  Further, the
Flash animation should have displayed properly as well.

Comment 1 Derek Berube 2005-08-12 11:35:01 UTC
If you kill all instances of esd, then revisit the web page, the browser does
not hang.

I'm also running the following packages:
media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.9
media-libs/alsa-oss-1.0.9
media-plugins/alsa-jack-1.0.9
media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.10
media-plugins/xmms-alsa-1.2.10-r3
media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.9b
media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.9b
media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.9a
media-sound/gnome-alsamixer-0.9.6
Comment 2 Fadi Adlouni 2006-02-21 22:52:43 UTC
Happens for me too.
killing esd resolved the issue as well.

Thanks,
Fadi.
Comment 3 Philippe Chaintreuil 2006-06-06 05:44:04 UTC
This happens to me too, regardless of using mozilla-firefox or mozilla-firefox-bin.
Comment 4 Jory A. Pratt 2006-06-06 06:52:24 UTC
Upstream needs to be notified not us on binary problems.
