Your html.png appears to have the normal controls. I would have thought that you must be using libvpx (either the shipped version, or the system version) to get the html5 video to appear. Youtube html5 uses VP8 for video and vorbis for audio. Firefox ships libvorbis in media/ (along with a great many other things including libogg and libtheora) and there doesn't seem any option to disable the shipped versions. I assume seamonkey is similar. I always install a bunch of media libs by the time I build firefox, but I suspect that everything except libvpx and alsa probably gets ignored by ff. Which doesn't explain why you have no sound. If you use pulse - is it possible that html5 audio is being routed differently from flash audio, and muted ? (I've no idea *how* pulse works). For alsa, I would just suggest unmuting everything and turning it all to 11 - but I don't recall any situations where only some audio types worked, except when libraries were missing. Sorry, I've no useful ideas. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
