[gentoo-user] No sound in flash

[Felipe Ribeiro]

Hi,

When i try to open a flash video on firefox, the sound doesnt work and
i get this error message repeated many times as output

ALSA lib pcm_plug.c:1189:(_snd_pcm_plug_open) Unknown field hint
ALSA lib pcm.c:2109:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library
/usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_empty.so

on /usr/lib/alsa-lib i just have the smixer folder, and inside smixer:

felipe@mustang /usr/lib/alsa-lib $ ls -la smixer/
total 72
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   336 Dec 12 00:22 .

My guess is that something in the dependency tree was updated below
either Firefox or Flash.  My bet is on re-emerging Flash.  Though that
still may not fix the problem, that is where I'd start.
