Flash is completely broken when it comes to audio it we can neither support it through our ESD compat nor through our ALSA compat. Due to the closed source nature of Flash we cannot go and fix their code. I will eventually add some workarounds for this. But it's low priority on my list, given the closed source nature of Flash. Oh, and Flash is evil anyway. ;-)
Er, http://pulseaudio.revolutionlinux.com/
- What about KDE?
Yes, what about it? TBH I don't know. All I know is that KDE still ships aRts, but I have no idea what steps would be necessary to get properly supported in KDE. If you're into KDE and interested to get PA working properly with KDE, ping me!
aRts has an ESD mode, which works 100% with Pulseaudio. Speaking of that, note that xine works better through ESD mode than through Pulseaudio mode as well.
I have Pulseaudio completely set up to use everything, so I know what has to be done to get it working (especially on KDE). Just ask.
Oh, BTW, I'd suggest sticking SDL_AUDIODRIVER="esd" in /etc/profile as well ;)
