*scratch*

It is not a diary the most people have rather a *scratch* Emacs buffer. It keeps notes about everything related to Linux, Open Source, UNIX, MacOSX and software engineering.

sound on Linux, again ...

Honestly I thought the sound problem on Linux is over in Hardy Heron with PulseAudio support. I was wrong ... Flash 9 may not play via PulseAudio and Rthymbox stops working after visiting YouTube in Firefox. Googling on PulseAudio server and UbuntuForums makes it clear an additional library must be installed to make Flash 9 plays nice with PulseAudio:

libflashsupport must be installed in addition to flashplugin-nonfree!

I suspect it would remain like that in 8.10 release. It would be nice if libflashplugin-nonfree had a dependency to libflashsupport so it would be transparent to the user like myself.

The promised (and beta 2) version of Flash 10 is available but it would take time before it would make its way to 8.10.
