Hi all,
I am having problem with audio and Flash plugin. The video is normal, but the sound is jerky and a is played back at about four times the normal speed.
How should I go about fixing it?
BTW, I have OSS (4front technologies), a Riptide soundcard and Firefox from "current" repository.
Thank you,
Paul W.

Everybody has that problem. Flash on Linux just suck highly. Maybe the next version will be better.

My solution (hopefully a temporary one) is to start firefox through aoss, like so: aoss firefox. Someone on this forum (can't remember who, sorry) posted a script the he used to start firefox, I copied that and put it in the file /usr/bin/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 $*
#
# correct:
aoss /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox "$@"
On my setup /usr/bin is put in the PATH variable before /opt/mozilla/bin, so the firefox script in /usr/bin is found before the firefox script in /opt/mozilla/bin, and executed. That way I didn't have to change anything in my KDE menu and keyboard shortcut.

Why is it, ath I get a deja vu when I read your post. :?

Don't know, I can find two explanations That it was your script that I posted, or that everybody asks the same question?

BTW this thread is duplicating this one.
For me flash sound works best with aoss and firefox or opera. aoss is just a simple script:
#!/bin/sh
# A simple script to facilitate the use of the OSS compatibility library.
# Usage:
# aoss <command> <command>
if [ -d /proc/asound ]; then
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
LD_PRELOAD=${exec_prefix}/$LIB/libaoss.so${LD_PRELOAD:+:$LD_PRELOAD} exec "$@
"
else
exec "$@"
fi
exit 1

Tnx for help, it seems to work better.
Will it work with other apps like Skype?
