[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#510620: ltsp-server: No Sound in Adobe Flash

[Jonathan Hutchins]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 5.1.10-1~40.etch.0
Severity: normal


Flash video works fine, but there is no sound.  Sound is generally working on the client.
This appears to be a problem with hardcoding in Flash for ALSA, which is the industry standard sound system.  It would be reasonable to expect that if packagers wish to use an alternative, non-standard sound system, they would provide emulation and or other methods of access for standardised packages.
