Details

Description: A person who wishes to try the new oss v.4 and then switches back to alsa may very likely have installed libflashsupport to have sound in flash animations under oss4. The problem is that an extremely loud noise now happens randomly on initializing sound in flash animations as a result of installing alsa and libflashsupport not being recognised as a conflicting file. It would be an oversight on the user, but the severe repercussions of the oversight I strongly feel warrants a bug report.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce: install oss, flashplugin, libflashsupport, then uninstall oss and install alsa. Now play a flash animation that uses audio, like on a game demo site while wearing headphones. Ouch!
This task depends upon

Probably libflashsupport should better stay in community where OSS is maintained. And isn't it better to make libflashsupport depend on OSS(4) than to hope and see it is not working well with alsa-oss...

Douglas?

Aha, so that's what's causing it! Thank you!
