I did built the sound support into the kernel. |
72 |
|
73 |
I run a lean gentoo install; no desktop; only a window manager |
74 |
(windowmaker). Nothing related to alsa is installed. I installed adobe's |
75 |
flash player plugin which ended up in ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
76 |
|
77 |
When I play a flash video I don't see an option for turning on audio. |
