I recently upgraded my workstation to Ubnuntu Gutsy from Feisty (my 
servers run Debian Stable) and suddenly Flash doesn't play any sound in 
Konqueror.  Actually, there are one or two other games that are 
suddenly soundless (most programs don't have a problem).  I gave up on 
counting on Konq as a web browser a long time ago.  I use it almost 
exclusively as a file browser now and for viewing a few things like 
Javadocs.
