edubuntu/firefox/pulse audio/flash = unusable

[john]

Hi all,

We've been having all kinds of problems with sound/flash/firefox and Edubuntu.

We can't seem to come up with a stable solution for making sound work
with Flash9 under Edubuntu. I've followed  the Pulse Audio/Revolution
Linux howto, fiddled with ESD and ALSA, etc. but no dice. if anyone
can point me to a known working solution for flash9/sound/edubuntu
7.04 I'd be very pleased.


We use online curriculum that requires flash 9 and sound to work and
all the firefox/Desktop freezing and lockup and random firefox and/or
flash misery  is a show stopper.  Edubuntu, for our school district at
least, is not a working solution if that piece doesn't work out of the
box or reasonably flawlessly with a straight ahead howto/fix.

Hope this doesn't sound too negative.  I am trying to provide some
feedback with the greatest respect for the developers who are working
on Edubuntu and also with great appreciation for all of the help
fellow Edubuntu users have shared with me.

John
