Could it be related to shockwave?
I see a lot of swf (shock wave flash?) processes sitting around after I
have been browsing with firefox. I usually also see an esd process
hanging around at the same time.
They seem to be grabbing my sound, keeping MythTV from being able to
provide audio when I try to watch TV using my PVR-250 TV card.
Thanks,
Jeff
Its not shockwave here because I refuse to install it.
