(If this gets posted twice, sorry about that)
I think I've figured out what is causing the following error in my
messages file:

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0

I just can't figure out why.  It would only happen occasionally and
here's what I've deduced.

It only happens when using my browser
It happens with Konquerer, Mozilla, Firefox
It happens only with sites that use Flash
If I disable Flash plugin, I receive no errors

It seems evident to me that my Flash plugin is causing this.  I'm using
the latest plugin from Macromedia, 6.0 r79.  I've seen other posts here
about those errors in the messages file and I'll bet that this might be
the cause.  I have no idea if this is limited to Fedora or if it happens
with other distros.  Aside from this stupid error message, everything
seems to work fine.

Here are two sites that causes this error.  But there are lots of Flash
sites, of course.
http://www.tvguide.com
http://macromedia.com

FC1 fully patched
ALSA 1.02
Any browser with Flash plugin


Is anyone else able verify this?
