Playing your favourite Flash Music via Jack and Firewire

Drumset (openclipart.org, public domain)

The core of my home studio consist of a Notebook and a firewire mixing console. Unfortunately, Flash used my notebook speakers for audio output instead of the firewire device. There are several workaround setups to circumvent this, but most of them are at least a bit cumbersome. Thorben Hohn fortunately wrote a library which provides an elegant solution. Heres what to do:

mkdir libflashsupport-jack cd libflashsupport-jack git clone git://repo.or.cz/libflashsupport-jack.git cd libflashsupport-jack sh bootstrap.sh make make -n install sudo make install
Restart firefox and listen to your favourite music video on Youtube (Zansa and Bimoya) via jackd what a joy! All credits to Thorben for the excellent work.

Third is simply via Pulseaudios module-jack-sink, so you can redirect all your consumer applications (vlc, mplayer, skype, flash, etc.) to jackd. This is probably the most elegant

solution, as it allows you to switch your *running* streams from your internal (or USB, bluetooth, whatever) device to your firewire device. Cheerio
