Question : Problem: want to hear youtube freeBSD

my youtube is now working visually, but there is no sound.

kv_bsd# uname -a
FreeBSD kv_bsd 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 10:40:27 UTC 2007     [email protected]du:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
kv_bsd#

i followed these instructions:

install www/firefox      
install print/acroread7      
install java/diablo-jdk15
install www/linux-flashplugin7      
kldload linux
echo "none            /compat/linux/proc      linprocfs       rw      0      
0" >> /etc/fstab
mount -a
echo "linux_enable=\"YES\"" >> /etc/rc.conf                      
nspluginwrapper -v -a -i


now i found a webpage:

http://www.erata.net/weblog/freebsd/2006/10/16/flash-plugin-on-freebsd/

and was doing those instructions when something funny happened:
kv_bsd# cd /usr/src
kv_bsd# patch -p0 < rtld_dlsym_hack.diff
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

Answer : Problem: want to hear youtube freeBSD

Prime up gnome terminal and inside it type either
esdwrapper firefox
or
esdwrapper linux-firefox
or
esdwrapper firefox-linux

i.e. the real firefox that has flash plugin working.

That will enable gnome's esd software to capture all sound playback requests and send it to soundcard it has locked.

Do you hear sound when firefox is launched this way?
