'Twas brillig, and Tanu Kaskinen at 23/07/09 14:09 did gyre and gimble:
Anyway, I figured that maybe Iceweasel would print some interesting
error messages when run from a terminal window. That it did. I got a
flood of the following error from libasound:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
So Flash doesn't seem to use the hardware directly after all! Instead,
it seems to be hardcoded to use dmix. (Hey Adobe, WTF is so hard in
using the default device??) I added this to ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!dmix {
type pulse
}
And it worked!
That is very interesting!
I've long suspected this may be the case as users have popped up from
time to time stating that this was causing issues.
I think I'll put this into our standard alsa+pulse config - doubt it
would do any harm.
