Yup, flash 9 broke sound for lots of people.  They made a change from
OSS to alsa.  In ArchLinux, one simply installs a little thing 
called alsa-oss (or maybe oss-alsa). 

That's probably the cause of your problem, however I don't know the
Ubuntu solution.

Spike (watching, from a distance, a conversation between
Angel and a woman he just rescued):How can I thank you, you
mysterious black-clad-hunk-of-a-knight-thing?
No need little lady. Your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You
see, I was once a bad-ass vampire. But love, and a pesky curse,
defanged me. And now, I'm just a *big* fluffy puppy with bad teeth.
No! Not the hair! Never the hair. 
But there must be some way I can show my appreciation. 
No, helping those in need's my job. And working up a load of sexual
tension and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks
enough. 
I understand. I have a nephew who's gay, so... 
Say no more. Evil's still afoot. And I'm almost out of that Nancy-boy
hair gel I like so much. Quickly! To the Angel-mobile! Away!
