Have you tried any non-flash audio?  Is this a firefox problem or a



flash problem?

R)
firefox without flash working properly.


I tried reinstalling firefox also.

Looks like you're running native NetBSD firefox with a Linux flash-
plugin (adobe-flash-plugin is the Linux x86 binary plugin).  I think



that's supposed to work thanks to nspluginwrapper, but I haven't used
that functionality in a very long time; can someone who has chime in?

R)
everything seems ok:

Installation the plugin for firefox: 



# nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Install plugin /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
into /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

and

#nspluginwrapper -l

That's odd, based on the first error message I wouldn't expect flash to
work at all.  Does flash video work?  I.e. is it really just the audio
output that's broken, or is flash simply not working?



R)
I think flash is working properly.
the video is dumb.
output video OK
output audio KO.

It is installed correctly.
Checked installation on this web_page:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

I don't think WindowMaker touches the audio system; that simplifies
matters.
