[Bug 647538] [NEW] [Maverick] Flash stopped using pulseaudio

[Dave Gilbert]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Sometime in the last week Flash (on 64bit via nspluginwrapper) has
stopped using Pulseaudio and hence doesn't work if anything is playing:

$ ps -eaf|grep nsplug
dg        4843  4733 10 15:37 ?        00:00:35 /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin --plugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so --connection /org/wrapper/NSPlugins/libflashplayer.so/4733-3


$ ls -l /proc/4843/fd
total 0

lrwx------ 1 dg dg 64 2010-09-25 15:37 15 -> /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
<deleted lines>

In my .xsession-errors I see the following (although don't know if it's
related - but it smells like it!)


*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue()
ALSA lib ../../src/conf.c:3288:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm.c:2208:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

However, I still see versions of it:

$ file /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so 
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

$ file /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
/usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

So I'm not really sure what changed.
