I've successfully gotten Firefox to run on

Have I missed something here? I have no problem using Adobe's Flash for
Linux on my systems.
I downloaded the "latest" Flash from Adobe (the actual latest isn't, of
course, available for Linux, but an older version is), and then tried the installation
script:

WTF? OK, I just manually put the libflashplayer.so into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins dir
then. Re-start Firefox. Flash goo-dads show up in websites now. All is bliss, all is
bliss.
Except.
No audio! None at all coming out of the audio card as MySpace music is supposedly
playing.
However, plenty of "Device or resource busy" errors from anything else I try to
play, which means FF was definitely opening and holding open the audio driver.... now I
remember why I did not want Flash in my regular browser.
So anyway. Not so good. I'm not going to invest a whole lot of time in this problem,
but if there's something obvious I'm doing wrong, please let me know.
