I ended up following the advice posted at http://blog.niceperson.org/2007/07/01/nspluginwrapper-howto-for-debian-sid/ (which was referenced elsewhere on this thread) and now have working Flash for visuals. However, I still have no audio. I do have audio for other things (testing gnome system sounds works, totem-gstreamer plays audio, etc. I'm using alsa and as I mentioned, sound WAS working.
I also saw on this thread that someone purged and reinstalled several things to get flash (with audio, I think) working again. That sounds painful. -dh On Thu, 2007-09-06 at 23:55 +0100, Rob Andrews wrote: > On 06-Sep-2007 07:00.03 (BST), Dan Hugo wrote: > > FWIW, my nspluginwrapper was working great from unstable on my amd64 > > platform [snip] > > > > I also more-recently updated nspluginwrapper to 0.9.91.5-1 in hopes that > > the audio issues would be magically fixed [I've developed that same sort > > of "damn, it just works..." confidence], but instead I no longer have > > any embedded flash support in iceweasel.
