Flash 10 does not solve the problem because it only works on like half of the Flash pages out there, so sites like cnn.com and many others do not work. I reported the problem to Adobe and as far as I can tell they haven't even noticed the bug report.

I do not consider no sound or no flash a minor problem. The only way that I have been able to solve the problem completely is to use Windows (see Bug Report #1).
