[Bug 85755] Re: fix for Flash player 9 sound nx ltsp oss

[AaronPeterson]

I want to change the importance to low, but I don't see how to. and  I'm
not trying to assigning it to myself because I can't include it in the
repository

** Summary changed:

- Flash 9 doesn't support oss natively Need work arround for LTSP and nx
+ fix for Flash player 9 sound nx ltsp oss

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
+ Adobe labs has posted instructions on how to get flash to work.  I took
+ the liberty of following them, and posting the generated file for your
+ enjoyment.  I have tested this on edubuntu-edgy over nx, with flash 9
+ installed in my users home dir.
  
- I tried something from adobe-labs and have no way to verify that it's
- working (until next week)
+  : flashplugin-nonfree   flash player
  
- (all of my computers support alsa just fine, and I tried to force
- artsdsp and esd, but couldn't know for sure)
  
  I compiled it per these instructions at
  http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Player:Additional_Interface_Support_for_Linux  
  
  I removed the unicode support link line (-licuuc) because it caused it
  not to compile, and installed linux-headers (actually were already
- installed) and libssl-dev  (not openssl-dev) .. basically did this:
+ installed) and libssl-dev  (I couldn't find openssl-dev) .. basically
+ did this:
  
   cc -shared -O2 -Wall -Werror  -lssl flashsupport.c -o libflashsupport.so
   ldd libflashplayer.so   (it didn't find it)
   sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib
  
- I then had to make a copy of /usr/bin/firefox and hack in an artsdsp
- line to force it to use that... to test the oss support.. however, I
- then removed that .so file, and restarted firefox and it still worked
- with artsdsp in that file, so that's why I can't test this..
+ If you already have alsa working fine, you don't need this.  A side
+ effect of using this shared object might be the loss of unicode support.
+ (multi lingual text)
  
- Unless somebody knows how to force alsa to only accept one audio
- connection...
+ oh, the machine it was compiled on was a vmware-server kubuntu 6.10
