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.
I mostly use JACK; is there any hope of getting it to work
with JACK?
Nope. The ALSA-Jack Plugin seems to not agree with it and it crashes
firefox anytime I go to a site with audio. If I am lucky it crashes
it before outputting LOTS of LOUD audio into my monitors.
If
not, maybe some sort of desktop sound mixer that uses ALSA?
Don't know of one that would do what I _think_ you are looking for
myself, course that doesn't say much in the Linux
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 is going to be my next move in fact, I will be routing the
internal sound into the line ins on my RME, and using its mixer to
route that to the appropriate output for my DA. Should work fine as
long as you set the onboard to the alsa default card, and specify in
qjackctl to use the RME.
I am trying out various desktop environments and window
managers at the
moment, and haven't settled on anything yet. Maybe I will use
KDE or
GNOME when I want to use my machine as a general purpose
workstation,
and something like fluxbox for audio.
Side Note: Try out e17.
Have fun.
