Hi all,
Following Ken Restivo's recent post linking to some youtube videos, I'd
like to get some audio output from Firefox's Flash plugin.
Heh, thanks!
I mostly use JACK; is there any hope of getting it to work with JACK? If
not, maybe some sort of desktop sound mixer that uses ALSA?
I've never been able to get Flash to work with JACK. I read of a weird jackplug
technique that was supposed to work but it never did for me, and I've long since lost
the link.
Maybe an appropriate setup for me in the long-term would be to use the
onboard soundcard for general desktop sound (using some sort of simple
sound mixer?) and JACK with one (or more) of my RME cards for audio
work.
That's what worked for me.
Is it possible to do this in a permanent and reliable fashion? How would
I go about it?
I took a hardware solution: I grabbed a 1/8"-to-RCA cable, and plugged the output of
the onboard sound card into the input of my good, JACK-enabled sound interface. Then when
I wanted to listen to "system" sound (i.e. flash), I'd just pot up the
inputs on the JACK-enabled card.
On my new laptop, the on-board audio was acting so weird that I just blacklsited the
hda-audio module, and I don't use this solution anymore. Instead, I use youtube-dl,
which is fantastic, and just watch them in "mplayer -ao jack".
