Change run-mozilla.sh to use aoss to output sound

This is mainly a reminder to self, because I just spent this quarter hour looking for the right place for the third time now. So... look for the line that says

## Run the program

Just underneath, edit the line to

aoss "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Anyone reading this: how are you convincing the flash plugin and firefox itself to output sound? Simultaneous to other sound output by another program, that is.

Keywords: aoss firefox flash alsa dmix

Re: Change run-mozilla.sh to use aoss to output sound

I do it in a similar way:

[macieks@komp_607 ~]$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
[macieks@komp_607 ~]$ cat `which firefox`
#!/bin/sh

# This line needs to be maintained or Thunderbird (and
# certain other apps) will not launch links when they
# are clicked on
export MOZILLA_LAUNCHER=firefox

# not correct:
#aoss /usr/libexec/firefox $*
#
# correct:
aoss /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox "$@"

And it won't dissapear after firefox update!
