[Bug 196470] Re: [hardy] flash plugin can't play videos at all then other program is using audio device

[John Leach]

Confirmed here on Hardy, latest updates from the repository.  Play for 2
to 3 seconds with no sound output then stops (though the vid keeps
buffering).  Seeking starts again for 2 - 3 seconds.  If I kill the
pulseaudio daemon and reload the page, the video plays perfectly, with
sound.

If I remove the libflashsupport package (which I have to force, because
flashplugin-nonfree depends on it) things works as expected: flash
movies play - alongside music from totem or whatever too.

So I think this is actually either a bug with libflashsupport or
pulseaudio, though I'll leave as flashplugin-nonfree.

Additionally, I can't output sound using pulseaudio.  If I set the sound
preferences to pulseaudio and click test, I hear no test sound.  Sound
*input* works with pulseaudio though.

ii  flashplugin-nonfree               9.0.115.0ubuntu4
ii  libflashsupport                   1.9-0ubuntu1
ii  pulseaudio                        0.9.9-1ubuntu2
