Hi all, I have recently begun using xfce and love it. I can load up amarok and play tunes, no problem. However, when I go to flash sites, (ie, Homestarrunner.com) I have no sound! How will I ever be able to use Xubuntu (which i heart to death), if I can not watch Strongbad's Email?!?

It's that level of seriousness. Please help me get some flash sound up in my Xubuntu.

as far as sound in flash goes, it's most probably fixed the same way in xubuntu as in regular ubuntu. have you tried fixing it like they say in this post? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75237 i'd recommend trying this one-liner before messing with the rest of the how-to, though:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
