Flash 10 / BBC iPlayer / USB Speaker problem

[Gavin Lewandowski]

Hi All,

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop machine and have a problem with 
audio , but only when Flash is used.

The reason for trying to fix this is so that I can use the BBC iPlayer 
desktop application.

Sound in Rhythmbox, Pidgin, Skype, Ekiga is all working perfectly.

I am using ALSA as the sound driver, I have followed various guides and 
Howto's but unfortunately this has not worked.

The following output below shows that ALSA can see the soundcard and the 
USB speakers.

> $ cat /proc/asound/cards
>  0 [VT82xx         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA VIA VT82xx
>                       HDA VIA VT82xx at 0xfbffc000 irq 17

Any further hints would be appreciated.
