Bug#310164: bad interactions with esd
I've come up with a way for this to work well. The flash plugin looks for the existance of libesd.so and /tmp/.esd/socket. If they exist, it dlopen()s libesd and goes happily on its way. The initscript in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/57399 creates the /tmp/.esd/socket file on boot. This is enough to make the plugin do the Right Thing. (I think.) Happy hacking, -- Simon Law http://www.law.yi.org/~sfllaw/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#310164: bad interactions with esd
Just wanted to post a follow-up to this bug report. I've had the same issue with flash sound causing firefox to crash. It's been a problem for months but finally decided to do something about it (it seems more sites use flash with sound these days). On my system, FIREFOX_DSP was set to NONE when these crashes manifested. Flash sound never did work for me although sound in general worked fine. Per the suggestion on this thread and the other referenced bug report, I installed libesd0-dev. Joy. Sound works now and firefox no longer crashes. My system is running sarge. It was a dist-upgrade from woody if that sheds any additional insight. Thanks. Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 7.0.25-5 Followup-For: Bug #310164 Hmm... an alternate method of resolving this issue is to install libesd0-dev. (See bug #293810 against mozilla-firefox for a bit more information.) The advantage of this method is that it doesn't seem to affect Flash's sound performance when ESD is in standby and FIREFOX_DSP is set to none. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages flashplugin-nonfree depends on: ii debconf 1.4.52 Debian configuration management sy ii libruby 1.8.2-1Libraries necessary to run Ruby 1. ii ruby 1.8.2-1An interpreter of object-oriented Versions of packages flashplugin-nonfree recommends: ii gsfonts-x11 0.17 Make Ghostscript fonts available t pn libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2none (no description available) -- debconf information: * flashplugin-nonfree/httpget: true flashplugin-nonfree/not_exist: * flashplugin-nonfree/http_proxy: * flashplugin-nonfree/local: * flashplugin-nonfree/delete: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#310164: bad interactions with esd
Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 7.0.25-5 Severity: normal With the Englightened Sound Daemon running, I have to do 'ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1' in order for Flash plugins with sound to work and not crash Firefox (1.0.4-2). However, without a running esd (and with mozilla-firefox running with FIREFOX_DSP=none), the existence of /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 kills Flash sound (but it doesn't crash Firefox). When that symlink is moved away, away, Flash is able to produce sound without esd. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages flashplugin-nonfree depends on: ii debconf 1.4.49 Debian configuration management sy ii libruby 1.8.2-1Libraries necessary to run Ruby 1. ii ruby 1.8.2-1An interpreter of object-oriented -- debconf information: * flashplugin-nonfree/httpget: true flashplugin-nonfree/not_exist: * flashplugin-nonfree/http_proxy: * flashplugin-nonfree/local: * flashplugin-nonfree/delete: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
