Tested on two machines both with gutsy and hardy (on 32 bit x86): flash content very often crashes firefox (both of firefox-3.0 in hardy and older versions). I've just tried with other browsers, epiphany-browser crashes as well, and even konqueror from KDE (though it's not crashing at a whole, since it may run flash and other plugins as another user or something similar - I think at least - but it reports the crash of flash). I don't know exactly the package I should report this against, but as far as I can remember this issue presents since I started to play with pulseaudio: there is a wrapper lib to allow flash to play sound via PA right, so it CAN BE caused by this single issue instead of problem of the browser or the flash plugin itself? |
Testcase:
use pulseaudio and libflashsupport together with flashplugin-nonfree in firefox.
1. navigate to youtube video
2. wait till sound plays
3. hit back button
4. hit forward
5. goto 2 if not yet crashed.
the crash sometimes after 2 iterations. and i can't remember that i ever made 10 :) ...

Workaround for early Hardy adopters:
Manually uninstall the libflashsupport via 'apt-get remove libflashsupport' or synaptic. This is necessary because libflashsupport would not automatically be removed by update-manager when it was changed from a dependent package to a recommended package during the Hardy development cycle. |

=================
Update 13/8/08: Hopefully this summary can help clarify the situation and help get this bug fixed!
Since the release of Flash 9, ALSA is the only audio output method supported by Flash (as opposed to earlier releases which had OSS and ESD support built-in). However, to aid with backwards-compatibility, Adobe have provided a simple API to support other audio (and secure transaction) schemes, which can be exposed by using the "libflashsupport" code. You can view the original implementation on Adobe's wiki page, which extends OSS and ESD output to Flash 9: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Player:Additional_Interface_Support_for_Linux
The version of libflashsupport used in Ubuntu (and most recent distributions that use PulseAudio) is different to the above, as it has been extended to support PulseAudio. You can see the relevant upstream wiki, with a description and link to the git repository: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FlashPlayer9Solution
The problem that users are experiencing in this bug is that Flash becomes unstable when the libflashsupport API is used; both the original OSS/ESD implementation provided by Adobe and the version adapted for PulseAudio exhibit this instability. The source of the problem is within Flash itself and it is not due to a bug in the modified libflashsupport code. See this PulseAudio bug report: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/267
So what can we do? We can drop libflashsupport entirely and use a better method to enable PulseAudio support in Flash (and all ALSA applications, in fact). PulseAudio provides ALSA plugins that enable most ALSA applications to have PulseAudio support. Unfortunately, Ubuntu is one of the few distributions that did not configure PulseAudio completely and thus ALSA applications completely bypass PulseAudio, causing mixing conflicts. This issue is reported on bug #198453 and you can read the FAQ at the following link for a summary of the problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866965
If we remove libflashsupport and fix bug #198453, there's "good news" and "bad news" with regards to Flash:
The bad news: Flash 9 still won't work (due to Flash 9's erroneous reliance on snd_async_add_pcm_handler() which causes problems with the PulseAudio ALSA plugin). See the PulseAudio developer's comment on Flash 9 here: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2008-May/001796.html
The good news: the snd_async_add_pcm_handler() issue is fixed in Flash 10 (since beta 1). Essentially, Flash 10 is 100% PulseAudio compatible when using the proper configuration of bug #198453.
In summary, the solution to this bug:
1. Upgrade to Flash 10 (at release candidate status as of 13/8)
2. Drop libflashsupport completely (it causes instability in Flash 9 and 10)
3. Fix bug #198453
This bug is a trivial fix for Intrepid (and should have been fixed a long time ago, to give PulseAudio time for testing). It is also possible to fix in Hardy, as long as the prerequisites of bug #198453 can be fulfilled whilst keeping the SRU policy for an LTS release in mind. Either way, *something needs to be done*. |
