[Thinlinc-technical] Flash and Esound

[Les Halliday]

ThinLinc 1.4.1
Firefox
FlashPlayer plugin 7.0.61.0
esound-0.2.28-4

On some of my vsmagent servers sound did not work when surfing to a website that server content using Flash Player. This is what I had to do to solve the problem.

For sound to work with Flash Player it is looking for two files 
/tmp/.esd 
/tmp/.esd/socket

These did not exist on the servers where sound did not work when using Flash Player. So, 

su - root
cd /tmp
mkdir .esd
cd .esd
touch socket (it was enough for Flash Player just to create a file called socket).
