I think I'm misunderstanding how alsa-oss works. I "rpm -qi alsa-oss"'d now and found out that there are two OSS interfaces: /dev/dsp and preloading libaoss.so.0. I'm guessing the library wraps around some system calls like open(2) and ioctl(2). But if flash-plugin uses ALSA directly, then why doesn't the audio of flash-plugin.i386 work on my x86_64 machine using nspluginwrapper when alsa-oss-libs.i386 isn't installed? -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
