<description><![CDATA[Okay, I've been going through numerous forums and it seems that my <strong>Flash</strong> woes can be purely pinpointed on <strong>Adobe</strong>.  The biggest complaints I've been reading are that <strong>Flash</strong> is not open source so developers have no chance to go in and fix the issue for <strong>Linux</strong>.  <strong>PulseAudio</strong> people, <strong>Firefox</strong> people, <strong>Ubuntu</strong> people, etc. are all pointing the finger at one point.  Well, if this is true, then <strong>Adobe</strong> should at the very least open source the <strong>Linux</strong> version of their plugin to the community.  I'm going to be forced to remove the <strong>flash plugin</strong> from my browser temporarily in case some stupid site in flash takes down my whole system.<br />

In the meantime, I read that the new <strong>Flash Beta 10 plugin</strong> solves these problems.  I've linked the plugin here so you can get it.  Also, I believe you need to add <strong>libflashsupport</strong> using something like <strong>apt-get</strong> or <strong>synaptic</strong> for compatibility since there might still be some issues with <strong>PulseAudio</strong> and <strong>Flash</strong>.<br />
<br />
Funny how <strong>Adobe's</strong> Beta software works far better.  This isn't something new for me either.  But again, if they just open source their stuff I think these frustrations might go away....]]></description>
