1 This is getting very frustrating. As I've said, sound works as user "ernie" in
2 all apps except flash.I have sound in flash as root, so the plugin is there.

15 I have device permissions set up properly unless libflashplayer.so uses some
16 device I don't know about. /dev/sound/* are all root:audio and "ernie" is in
17 the audio group. I guess this is obvious because all other audio apps work
18 fine as "ernie". I've been racking my brain and searching for info, but I
19 can't get this working. Please, someone help me out here.
