[Alsa-user] Two little problems
Ok, now that Alsa works greatly here's two little problems for you (sorry, I don't want to abuse this mailing list...): 1) I cannot hear sound in web pages (e.g.: I open an internet location with FireFox, in the main page there's a sound and I cannot hear it) 2) Midi doesn't work (the device I use is"Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 - ALSA device", the one in "Hardware" tab in the "Sound System" part of KDE Control Center) Remember that now I've got aRts daemon active.

It won't just play .mid files OOTB like on Windows. Either get a soft synth like Timidity, or load the "snd-emu10k1-synth" module then load a soundfont using "asfxload".

I guess he's referring to pages with flush. Since flush player uses OSS, it doesn't work when other programs occupy the sound device. Takashi --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The only way would be to start the browser with aoss wrapper or a equivalent one for the sound daemon (e.g. artsdsp or essdsp) from the very beginning.

There's an open feature request for Firefox to run plugins in a separate process, the main advantage of which is that you can prevent them from sucking 100% of your CPU, it would also allow this. Since we have many reports that aoss works well with Flash, I think the best solution is to ask the distros which use ALSA by default (all of them now I think) to make /usr/bin/firefox or whatever a wrapper around "aoss firefox".
