For the record, just installing the linux esound does not just make it work. Here are some of the steps that do get it to work though. The flash player looks for a couple of things for sound support. One is /tmp/.esd/socket. This must be created on the X server. mkdir /tmp/.esd touch /tmp/.esd/socket The other thing flash is looking for is libesd.so.1. The linux-esound library also looks for libesd.so.0. This must be created on the X server as well. cd /usr/local/lib ln -s libesd.so.2 libesd.so.0 ln -s libesddsp.so.2 libesddsp.so.0 ln -s libesd.so.2 libesd.so.1 ln -s libesddsp.so.2 libesddsp.so.0 cd /compat/linux/usr/lib ln -s libesd.so.0.2.36 libesd.so.1 ln -s libesd.so.0.2.36 libesd.so.2 ln -s libesddsp.so.0.2.36 libesddsp.so.1 ln -s libesddsp.so.0.2.36 libesddsp.so.2 After all that, linux-firefox properly recognizes the ESPEAKER environment variable, and sound is directed through it automatically. Perhaps either the flash7 or esound ports need to check for these links and create them as needed upon installation? It'd just be nice to have it work out of the box so to speak.
