Comment 115 for bug 192888

Alexander,

I agree we need to follow the first option mentioned in #198452, i.e. the "PerfectSetup" route, but I hope you don't forget the required asound.conf entries, but also new dependencies such as libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio and libao-pulse to be given priority over the -alsa packages.

As for the nonfree flash (which you can count on ~99% of the Hardy user base installing that do not understand or care about the philosophical concerns against closed-source solutions, and given the current state of gnash and swfdec), we are effectively powerless to help compatibility with PulseAudio until Adobe provide a fix themselves. Remember, libflashsupport is actually Adobe's interface, and the PulseAudio developers can only provide an implementation of it, not fix the implementation itself.

If you decide on this route, I think we should look back towards the inclusion of nspluginwrapper on 32bit architectures or else we will have a lot of unhappy Firefox users. Since we are on such a tight schedule and I would consider this a bug fix rather than feature, maybe it should be considered for hardy-updates at the very least.
