Also noticed when I removed pulseaudio from USE this was one of the packeges that was rebuilt; media-libs/swfdec-0.8.4 USE="alsa ffmpeg gstreamer gtk -doc -pulseaudio" 0 kB Do you have net-www/libflashsupport installed? It should provide pulseaudio support to native 64-bit flash-10. Yes; [ebuild R ] net-www/libflashsupport-1.2 USE="esd ssl -gnutls -oss -pulseaudio" 0 kB Sound works great without pulseaudio, with pulseaudio enables, firefox would freeze and there would be no sound when I tried to play flash videos.

Well, if you don't have the USE=pulseaudio enabled for libflashsupport, I wouldn't expect it to work with pulseaudio either! Perhaps try enabling that, and disabling esd in libflashsupport. Jim thanks for your time. I set up /etc/portage/package.use net-www/libflashsupport pulseaudio -esd [ebuild R ] net-www/libflashsupport-1.2 USE="pulseaudio ssl -esd -gnutls -oss" 0 kB no sound and the video freezes removed /etc/portage/package.use re-emerged libflashsupport worked as expected This is interesting. I'll try doing some testing myself again when I'm home, but I've had no problems with pulseaudio support. You're sure that your pulseaudio setup is working properly - For example, 'paplay' can play sounds? No sound from paplay but aplay works. I did not do anything to set-up pulseaudio. david [12:11 AM] opteron ~ $ paplay -v test.wav Using sample spec 's16le 1ch 22050Hz' Connection established. Stream successfully created ^CGot SIGINT, exiting. david [12:11 AM] opteron ~ $ aplay test.wav Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono If there is no sound from paplay, then your pulseaudio server is not running, so it is not surprising that flash wouldn't be able to play sound. Perhaps it would be valuable for you to read more about pulseaudio: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/Documentation But to use pulseaudio you definitely need the daemon running. Thanks Jim, I don't really care about puleaudio one way or another. I just want sound to work. I only reported the bug because I am sure I will not be the only person that once they hit the versions I am using they will need to configure pulesaudio or alter their USE to get it to work with flash. When this first happened I did not know what caused the loss of sound with flash, but during my search I found a lot of problems from Ubuntu users with their latest release and flash with pulseaudio so that is where I started to look.

Sounds good. I suppose I hope that people who enable the pulseaudio USE flag will do so carefully, and only if they're actually using pulseaudio :) |
