Comment 3 for bug 179095

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 alpha-2 for i386 32-bit desktop on my testing
machine. I found a web page with links to flac music files for testing:
http://ff123.net/samples.html . I clicked on a link there. Ubuntu
popped up a window asking for permission to open it in Movie Player,
which I accepted. The player asked for permission to download the
missing codec, which I approved and it did. The flac file played
perfectly. (I have elsewhere reported that system sounds and midi files
don't play sound but .ogg and flash videos do play sound on my system.)

>From what I've seen in other users' comments, the 64-bit versions of
Linux are not as well supported with drivers and codecs as the 32-bit
version, so many users have said they will stay with the 32-bit releases
on their x64 64-bit-capable computers until the situation improves. If
you do re-install Ubuntu with the i386 version, please add a comment
here to report the results with your flac files.
