I tried lunching firefox both with artsdsp and aoss, but when I load the flash page, first it produces sound, then firefox is freezes. I tested with http://www.kubrick2001.com site. If I start konqueror with artsdsp or aoss, it plays flash anim, but still with no sound. Istvan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
