No sound in Flash under Linux

Problem description:
Using Debian or Ubuntu Linux, I experienced problem with no sound
using Flash player in Firefox.

Solution:
# apt-get install alsa-oss

Details:
alsa-oss package creates interface between Alsa sound libraries and OSS libraries. Latest systems usually support Alsa drivers while Flash requires OSS. This package interconnects both of them to play together.
