Description lcremeans 1999-12-08 22:50:00 UTC 
When I use Flash Player 4 for Linux in Netscape 4.08 here, the sound does not work. I 
made a ktrace of the program, and I see these errors in the parts where 
it goes to set up the sound:

 52143 netscape CALL  linux_access(0x288f92eb,0x2)
 52143 netscape NAMI  "/compat/linux/dev/dsp"
 52143 netscape NAMI  "/dev/dsp"
 52143 netscape RET   linux_access 0
 52143 netscape CALL  linux_open(0x288f92eb,0x1,0)
 52143 netscape NAMI  "/compat/linux/dev/dsp"
 52143 netscape NAMI  "/dev/dsp"
 52143 netscape RET   linux_open 18/0x12
 52143 netscape CALL  linux_ioctl(0x12,0x5000 ,0)
 52143 netscape RET   linux_ioctl 0
 52143 netscape CALL  linux_ioctl(0x12,0x500e ,0xbfbfbab8)
 52143 netscape RET   linux_ioctl 0
 52143 netscape CALL  linux_ioctl(0x12,0xc004500a ,0xbfbfbab8)
 52143 netscape RET   linux_ioctl -1 errno 22 Invalid argument
 52143 netscape CALL  close(0x12)
 52143 netscape RET   close 0

The sound in Flash 3 works fine.

Fix: 

N/A; I know it has something to do with SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT, but I'm
not sure how to fix it.
How-To-Repeat: * Install any version of Linux Netscape
* Get the Flash 4 Linux plugin from Macromedia's site
* Go to any site with Flash files on it that have sound -- the video
  works perfectly, but it'll be silent.
