Pet peeve of the weekend

September 17, 2006 – 5:31 am

My pet peeve of the weekend is Flash. The Macromedia one.

Not because it’s proprietary, closed source, or evil.

Rather, it’s because:

  • It demands exclusive access to soundcard and fails if I have music player running (which I always have)
  • The Linux version is just too old

Of course, if the player was open sourced, these problems would quickly go away…

  1. One Response to “Pet peeve of the weekend”

  2. That’s right. New version will use ALSA.

    True, that doesn’t solve the “too old” argument.
