Native PulseAudio with Flash 9 – fix video crashes

4 comments

I spent some time and appeared to fix the video-related crashes in the Flash 9 plugin when you use Revolution Linux’s libflashsupport.so to use PulseAudio with Flash 9. I suspect this library is somewhat buggy, but this fix makes it skip the buggy sections (at least for me, I couldn’t get it to crash). The changes to the source file are in this diff file if you’re curious; basically we change around the order that the plugin tries to access sound backends – skipping ESD and ALSA since if you try to use ALSA while Pulseaudio is using it, there’s a mess, and falling back to OSS (which can also work decently if you use padsp)

Ubuntu Package

Install this file using sudo dpkg -i libflashsupport_1.0~2219-2_i386.deb

Flash still lets my browser crash after watching some movies on Youtube for example.

I can’t install these? I downloaded them and extracted to the desktop. I’m new to Linux Mint and don’t know how to install patches, or whatever this fix is. My flash 10 in firefox linux mint, doesn’t work. Don’t know the kernel or anything???

Have you got a fix for sound problems with flash 10? Mine was working perfectly for month, then suddenly, no sound!

Also, I am on a 64 bit architecture so some of these .debs won’t work.
