    Sorry for breaking thread on this one - the e-mail I'm replying to is
    old enough that I don't have my local copy any more.

    So back when this thread first started, I could not duplicate the
    problem. Sound from web browsers when using flash worked great, whether
    installed via apt-get or mozilla downloads, the mozilla browser, firefox
    browser or even galeon. Then I had to do a full re-install a couple
    months later and had similar symptoms to what others have experienced in
    this thread. _Now_, I visit a website today and suddenly I have sound
    with Flash in my $browser again!

    Mozilla and Galeon are both the latest versions from sid and Firefox is
    installed via the tar ball downloaded from mozilla.org. Has anyone else
    noticed this recent change? Unfortunately I don't know exactly which
    change I did that's affected it, but I'd be glad to help anybody
    troubleshoot this.

    HTH,
    Jacob
