I'm new to using pulseaudio, but have it setup so that mplayer can either output to a local user instance, or to the remote server running on my display. I've run the local instance for testing, with module-null-sink and running "pulseaudio -v -v -v" to see what's happening. Various websites suggest that Flash 10 has pulseaudio support "built-in", but everytime I load a flash video the console fills with messages about there being no ALSA devices (which there aren't). I've tried setting PULSE_SERVER and FLASH_FORCE_PULSEAUDIO, to no effect -- I can't get the flash plugin to connect to pulseaudio like mplayer does. Also the following command produces no output, which I expected it to: # strings libflashplayer.so|grep libpulse Is it necessary to use Flash via an pulseaudio ALSA plugin? That would seem to contradict the available information. Any ideas would be very welcome, - Peter Joanes.
