I followed your advice when I discovered your message. No problem to install the opensolaris guest and the flash player. Video seems okay, but there is no sound and I cannot find out why. Needless to say that audio works fine on the host which is still on 8.0-RELEASE-p4 for the time being. I can't imagine that this could be the reason. Thank you in advance for any help. Harald Weis
