The most frustrating experience for myself in Firefox was getting the Adobe Flash Player to play nice with KDE. First I wasn't able to hear any sound, then I couldn't get the audio to sync with the video; it was a nightmare. There are two issues going on here.
The first issue is getting Firefox to pipe the sound through aRts. This can be fixed by using artsdsp to wrap around the Firefox binary that runs when you bring up the web browser.
The frustrating part is that artsdsp will complain at the command line that "artsdsp works only for binaries". This is because the Firefox file is a shell script and not a binary. The script will include some library files and eventually call another script file that then finally calls the binary. I was able to dig through the script and find the line that finally calls the binary. It is a line that contains...
All you need to do is change the line to read.
Code:
"$(which artsdsp)" "$mozbin" "$@"
If that doesn't work, change $(which artsdsp) to the full location of the artsdsp command. I have found this solution to only work on Firefox built from source; it has only been tested on Gentoo in KDE.
The second issue is to sync up the audio and video in Flash Player (especially for the YouTube fanatics out there.) I have noticed the sync issue is no longer a factor in the Flash Player 9 plugin for Linux. Just get the latest beta version of the plugin from http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b2_installer_linuxplugin and follow the readme.txt instructions. It will have you extract a library file to your plugins directory; fire up Firefox, check out a flash video and enjoy!
