Bug Description

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Hi,
I'm using the flashplugin-nonfree package with amd64, and I can't get sound to work when pulseaudio is running.

firefox prints the following error whenever playing sounds in Flash:
ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm.c:2105:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so

When pulseaudio is running, this error is printed over and over again, without any sound. When I stop pulseaudio, this error is only printed once, and the sound is heard fine.

Regards,
Haggai Eran

I have the same problem.

The Flash plugin is 32-bit, but only a 64-bit version of the pulseaudio ALSA plugin exists. We need a lib32- version of the plugin. This is going to be the same situation for any other 32-bit ALSA application, such as some binary-only games.
