Flash Player Sound in Ubuntu
For ages sound emanating from flash player under Ubuntu has been difficult to achieve and a PITA regarding getting other sounds to player afterwards, I found a solution here.
# Flash also looks for /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 # Flash expects /tmp/.esd/socket to exist. sudo mkdir -p /tmp/.esd/ sudo touch /tmp/.esd/socket
