Yep, just tried that. Still no sound coming out of the panel timer
outlet, or out of CBC radio's (or KBSG's) streaming audio applets
within FF3. *Video* audio works fine, but not radio. Wah!

There have been a couple of UpdateManager iterations since, and the
splash screen now plays the bongo drums. Rhythmbox works, and videos 
within FF3 seem to play okay, if a bit scratchily. I haven't had time
(working) to hunt down the pulse-audio plays... thread that got things
working better before all this UM kerfluffle happened. A bug-tracker
thread lists the libflashsupport bug as fixed, for the most part.

The sound issue does seem as if it originates at a level above the 
running programs level.
