No audio (esd) when viewing flash pages within firefox

Solution/Fix found at bottom of
"http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76743.html"

It turns out that Breezy (or maybe Gnome 2.12 more specifically), has changed
the way it creates ESD sockets in the /tmp directory. It creates a
/tmp/.esd-1000 directory which differs to what the Flash Plugin is looking for.
Suggested fix:

ncampbell@naaman:~$ cd /tmp
ncampbell@naaman:/tmp$ mkdir /tmp/.esd
ncampbell@naaman:/tmp$ ln -s /tmp/.esd-1000/socket /tmp/.esd/socket

I think that this should be properly regarded as a bug in the Flash plugin or
the packaging glue for it. So I am closing this with UNIVERSE. Please report
the bug in Malone.
