Folks, please watch the language. Any forum, especially one that may be almost quasi official is also, directly or indirectly, advocacy.

As for flash, most of the time, I can do without it, but unfortunately, there are those times when I can't. (Which could lead to a whole new thread.)

Sad to say, there are those times when I need or want flash 9 for one reason or another. Alsa, and now, pulse-audio, seem to be answers to questions no one was asking, and one would think that they would get it right, but....

Fedora was probaby the first to use pulse-audio--however, between that and tying sound to a gnome program, last November, they broke sound for 20-30 percent of their users. Ubuntu came closer to getting it right, possibly learning from Fedora's errors.
Right now, in Fedora, I'm using rawhide, which is thier testing---like CURRENT, but with more of an attitude of, Let's try this and if it breaks something else, well, we'll worry about that later, so I can't say--it didn't work last night, but might with the latest updates today, if I have a chance to check.

That's not a criticism of that attitude, they make it very plain and anyone using Rawhide does it at their own risk.
