Luke & Daniel,

Using libasound2-plugins_1.0.15-1ubuntu3.1~ppa1_i386.deb doesn't help, but seems to be different.

When I try to play flash, there is no sound output, but pulseaudio log output goes nuts, seemingly opening and killing dozens of clients per second. Bear in mind the output I'm sending is from about 2 seconds of playback & it would continue ad nauseam if I did not kill the process. In The PulseAudio Volume Control program, Flash does have an entry, but it flickers, disappearing and reappearing extremely fast (not surprising if you look at the log).

There's a similar situation when trying Skype (ALSA version), I'll attach the log if you're interested. Funnily enough, Skype sometimes does produce audio, but it's an extremely rare occurrence and it soon crashes requiring a "killall -9". Skype has an entry in the PulseAudio Volume Control, but it remains stable unlike flash.
