@Ronald: You're my hero :-)
Your instructions do work. What I did is to get the "Flash 9" archive from Adobe, e.g. here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2 The "installer" shell script they provide is crap, it claimed that the installation path "/usr/lib/mozilla" was no good. Just forget about it and instead move the "libflashplayer.so" file into "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" manually. It will work. Then and as suggested I got the C source file from this link: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Player:Additional_Interface_Support_for_Linux I downloaded the necessary libs and headers: yum install openssl-devel libicu icu libicu-devel kernel-headers Then I triggered the compilation: gcc -shared -O2 -Wall -Werror -licuuc -lssl flashsupport.c -o libflashsupport.so It silently completed without complaining... So this means it was successfull. I then copied that file to /usr/lib and made a symlink to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins .... And now I have working sound in Flash movies too. All my sound issues are now 100% resolved. Thanks very much to all! :-) Regards, DJM.
