I have the flash-plugin package from Adobe installed, but no shockwave or realplayer plugins... or maybe I do. Looking at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, there seems to be an lot of junk installed: gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so gecko-mediaplayer-rm.so gecko-mediaplayer.so gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so libflashplayer.so libjavaplugin.so librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so libtotem-cone-plugin.so libtotem-gmp-plugin.so libtotem-mully-plugin.so libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so mozplugger.so nphelix.so nphelix.xpt nsdejavu.so And those nphelix files are symlinks to a realplayer install in /usr/local! Remove those and the totem-mozplugin and gecko-mediaplayer RPMs and restart firefox... no sound from it at all now, and nothing in pavucontrol. But vlc (via pulseaudio) is working again. # lsof /dev/snd/* pulseaudi 12591 danny mem CHR 116,24 4779 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c pulseaudi 12591 danny mem CHR 116,16 4773 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p pulseaudi 12591 danny 12u CHR 116,0 0t0 4797 /dev/snd/controlC0 pulseaudi 12591 danny 22u CHR 116,16 0t0 4773 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p pulseaudi 12591 danny 23u CHR 116,0 0t0 4797 /dev/snd/controlC0 pulseaudi 12591 danny 24u CHR 116,0 0t0 4797 /dev/snd/controlC0 pulseaudi 12591 danny 29u CHR 116,24 0t0 4779 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c pulseaudi 12591 danny 31u CHR 116,0 0t0 4797 /dev/snd/controlC0 Kill pulseaudio, restart firefox, youtube video now works # lsof /dev/snd/* firefox 18501 danny mem CHR 116,16 4773 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p firefox 18501 danny 80u CHR 116,16 0t0 4773 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p Close youtube tab, vlc now works, and pulseaudio has the sound devices. Quit vlc, restart youtube, no sound -- pulseaudio still has the sound devices. kill pulseaudio, then quit/restart youtube crashes firefox, but it has sound on restart. Sometimes I can have pulseaudio running and firefox/youtube working: pulseaudi 18870 danny mem CHR 116,17 4755 /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p pulseaudi 18870 danny 12u CHR 116,0 0t0 4797 /dev/snd/controlC0 pulseaudi 18870 danny 22u CHR 116,17 0t0 4755 /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p pulseaudi 18870 danny 24u CHR 116,0 0t0 4797 /dev/snd/controlC0 pulseaudi 18870 danny 31u CHR 116,0 0t0 4797 /dev/snd/controlC0 firefox 18948 danny mem CHR 116,16 4773 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p firefox 18948 danny 82u CHR 116,16 0t0 4773 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p but vlc produces no sound in this state. I don't think I've ever seen Firefox as a source or client in pavucontrol or paman.
