- Have you tried any non-flash audio?  Is this a firefox problem or a
- flash problem?

Are you still running mplayer, etc when trying to use the flash
based player within firefox?

In my experience, the flash player tries to open the audio
device *once* at start up, and if something else as the audio
device open (busy), flash gets a failure and never makes a peep.

Audio devices are exclusive open on NetBSD, so the first open
gets the device (usually xmms for me..:)

I've never checked to see if flash player will play nicely with
either e-sound (the enlightened sound daemon from gnome) or the
corresponding interface from kde (arts??).. Or even for NAS (the
network audio service.)

- Looks like you're running native NetBSD firefox with a Linux flash-
- plugin (adobe-flash-plugin is the Linux x86 binary plugin).  I think
- that's supposed to work thanks to nspluginwrapper, but I haven't used
- that functionality in a very long time; can someone who has chime in?
