It happens with Opera 6.11 or Mozilla 1.2 with flash player 6.0.69 and a former 6.x version too. But both browsers can play flash with the older plugin 5.0r51. With this older flash player plugin I can see that the soundsystem is started when I open the two URLs, which makes me think there is a relation between the new installed sound system and the flash plugin problem.

Both browsers are running now with flash player 6.0.69:
1.) For mozilla 1.2.1 I had to COPY the files libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt to my mozilla-plugin-path. In the past I just linked these files to the installation directory, which seems not to work anymore.
2.) For opera 6.11 I had to modify the plug-in path by adding the installation path of the libflashplayer.so.
Both plugins produce sound now with plain alsa (without esd or artsd).
