Fixing Firefox Flash Video Sound problem on Ubuntu Dapper

I've been using Ubuntu Linux as my main OS at home. After upgrading to Ubuntu Dapper recently, Firefox refuses to play flash video sound from time to time. After some googling I found two methods to solve this problem.

Method 1

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
sudo mkdir -p /tmp/.esd/
sudo touch /tmp/.esd/socket 

Method 2

sudo aptitude install alsa-oss
sudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
