I nominate lightspark.  It's a new Free Software Flash player that's 
been getting a lot of press and development lately.  Let's make it 
easier for people to try it to see if it works for them yet! ^_^

Given my position, I'm exempting myself from this process, however I have to
admit I'm intrigued by lightspark. I never would have heard of it if not for
this message. Perhaps someone should do an article on it (or on Flash
alternatives in general) for Rolling Release?

If there were alternatives, or at least alternative flash players...
Gnash, according to some document on their website, doesn't even try to
sync audio and video, rather it's impossible by design.
Both gnash and lightspark seem to focus on making youtube work and
fail more often than not. Needless to say that there's more to flash
than youtube. The flash situation is still horrible, there are no
alternative players.

The problem with lightspark is, that it still depends on pulseaudio. As
far as I know in the meantime the audio playback is redesigned and
implemented as a plugin system, but the only audio plugin is still
pulseaudio. Hopefully there will be an ALSA plugin in the future as
already requested by several users.

[aur-general] Delete pamusb package

2010-12-14 Thread Phillip Smith
Can someone please delete the "pamusb" package. It is a duplicate of
"pam_usb"...

I obviously didn't see pam_usb before creating pamusb.

Thx,
