I'm not sure what you mean by official recommendation, but from what you
describe, 64 bit systems can cause problems when using flash and

Oh, I get you now.
So are you advocating that the official recommendation of LAD is not to use a
64 bit system?

No, as I said, the solution is very simple: Don't install a 64 bit OS.
That's what's causing your problems, apparently.

Well, there's your problem. It's great that you try out new
software though, but of course then you'll get more stability
issues as well.
To clarify, I have found that is difficult to get 32 bit apps to connect
to a 64 bit build of pulseaudio but these apps don't cause stability
issues with pulse. The problem is they just don't connect. I can still run
them directly over the alsa layer but that locks the device in a standard
Fedora 11 setup. I believe this would affect alot of "normal" users so I
would like to find a workable solution that can be recommended to all
packagers as a LAD standard.
