Re: No sound in flash movies Debian testing,firefox,nspluginwrapper, adobe 32-bit flash plugin??

[Dan Hugo <dhugo@reallycool.com>]

FWIW, my nspluginwrapper was working great from unstable on my amd64 platform (audio and video, reasonably watchable, etc).  This is a new machine as of about 2 weeks ago so I was quite happy that apt-get install did me right and grabbed the right flash and set up the right wrapper libs in the right directories.

BUT

A few days ago I started running into audio problems with Totem (which handles other media in Iceweasel and basic media playing of movies and whatnot) and it seems it was the Totem-xine package that was running up against some audio issues in libxine (libxine1 ?) with a mutex assert that I found mentioned online here and there.  I switched to Totem-gstreamer and am once again able to deal with normal media with audio and video.

I also more-recently updated nspluginwrapper to 0.9.91.5-1 in hopes that the audio issues would be magically fixed [I've developed that same sort of "damn, it just works..." confidence], but instead I no longer have any embedded flash support in iceweasel.  While the about:plugins output in iceweasel indicates flash support is present via the wrapped plugin, I get a big gaping hole where any flash should be.

So the shorter answer is "me too."  I wonder if it's related to the libxine stuff, though a cursory examination of the output of ldd for the flash plugin so doesn't show a direct link there.  I've been way too busy to fret too much for the past 2 days or so about flash ads not playing, though, so again, "me too" is all I can offer at this time.

ps seeing this on a quad core intel machine and a turion x2 laptop, both running amd64 unstable, and it happened on my laptop first so I knew it was coming.
