And I've ran across the same type of thing with some audio files
(amature guitarists/musicians posting songs they have done).
They both use those crazy embedded media players similar to the UFO movie
above. I don't get any audio. I'm using Seamonkey 1.0.1. The same thing
went on when I had Mozilla. Some sites mplayer or gxine come up - that
works fine, the only issue is these embedded players.
Any solutions out there?
Thanks

Come to think of it, even if you don't know the answer, and you get
the audio, it be interesting to know. Thanks.
kodon - thanks for the suggestion.
I have alsa-oss-1.0.9 installed.
I take it thats what your refering too.
This might be something I'll just have to live with.
To add confusion to the matter, I logged in this morning
and tried out the UFO video again - the sound worked - 1 time.
I tried a different video, and no sound. No sound except that
except that one & first time on the google videos.
hum...
-tw
p.s - I did try killing artsd, as I remeber that causing some odd
sound issues on occassion. I tried it in xfce4, as opposed to kde.
still no sound. and I don't always get sound on the first try.
apparently it is hit or miss - more often miss.
mixer settings in alsamixer, aumix, kmix, etc...
iirc, i had to tweak a couple of the settings to hear oss stuff
[ie the volume was so low it appeared they weren't playing]
