I don't know more. I've already spent 1h on the problem,
I can't see what else I can do. And BTW, to go through the
sluggish BZ every time is just too much work.

Flash is closed source sw, we cannot fix that.
My point was the even Rb wasn't working even if it did work in
the past.

There is no such error in PA. Please file a bug and include an exact
description of the error message.
I can't reproduce it, it may be a Gstreamer error, I don't know.

Have you reconfigured the default gst disk? You need to make sure that
"pulsesink" is the default sink. If you configure it to something else
it's your own fault fi things don't work as expected anymore.
No, it's not my fault. That is the only thing that is 100% clear.
I had working sound, I didn't touch anything, sound stopped working
out of the blue ==> NOT MY FAULT.
I had to drop to the command line and kill(1) one PA instance.
Use gconf-editor and look in /system/gstreamer/0.10/default.
It's set to autoaudiosink. I've never touched this setting.
