libxine1-gnome makes xine-based apps working (this is on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex). Ok, that's it, thanks :-)

Hi again Mark,

To get flash-sound working as well, I installed flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound. (This is on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex)

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound

That should install the file
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound/libflashsupport.so

That was not enough though. I'm not really sure what is best practice here, but one way to make firefox/flash load that file at start-up would be to have a symlink in /usr/lib:

$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound/libflashsupport.so

Alternatively, invoke firefox (or epiphany-browser) within an environment that has a LD_LIBRARY_PATH that includes that directory, for example by appending it on the command line:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound/ firefox

Note that flash sound still does not work very well -- audio and video are totally unsynchronized, the sound typically lags a few seconds behind. I don't know how to fix that, perhaps by somehow using PulseAudio after all, over the network, perhaps "outside" the nx session.. I have no idea.

(Let me know if I should stop spamming your blog -- it's just that your article was good, so this seems a good place to collect some information for future reference)

Hi Hugo,

Hi Hugo,

Looks like you beat me to it, yes you need to install that VLC plugin. As for flash, no dice for me either, I will look into that when I find some time.

Cheers,
Mark.

For those of you who end up here but don't have E.S.D. as menu-item under System->Preferences->Sound, install the package gstreamer0.10-esd -- that did it for me (this is on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex).

At least the Test-buttons work. And mplayer. But not Flash in Firefox, nor vlc. Does all that work properly for you guys?

Regards

Hugo

Hi Dereck,

I guess I should mention that I am using Hardy when I explain these things.

Also I have not tried it over the internet, just my LAN at home, but I can imagine it would not work very well. There is even a delay on my (1Gb) LAN!

Thanks for your comments.

Cheers,
Mark.

For intrepid I did not find the menu item you refered to, but I was able to get sound. Under System>Prefs>sound change the three drop downs to use ESD and click ok! I had sound after that.

I was not happy with using it over the internet however. It really was useless in my situation, but that might just be the fact that I have a smaller upload pipe at home, I'll have to try it on my local network next time I'm home.
