*** Please type your report below this line ***
The ICEWEASEL_DSP variable is set to "none" in the
/etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc file. It causes that the browser won't
produce any sound if the soundcard is busy. However the man page
states, that "auto" is the default value for this variable.
Unfortunately the dsp wrappers are fairly hackish, and especially the
esddsp wrapper was causing a lot of stability problems. The big user of
this was flash, but the latest non-free version uses alsa i believe. Are
there other plugins that block?
Another problem is that the /usr/bin/iceweasel script is constructed in
a way that the user cannot use his own value of the ICEWEASEL_DSP
variable; it is always overriden by the value from the rc file.
Is the following fragment (line 49) correct?
if [ -z "${ICEWEASEL_DSP}" ] ; then
RUNTIME_ICEWEASEL_DSP="${ICEWEASEL_DSP}"
fi
Shouldn't it be
if [ "${ICEWEASEL_DSP}" ] ; then
RUNTIME_ICEWEASEL_DSP="${ICEWEASEL_DSP}"
fi
?
Yes it should, will be fixed next release.
