 ===== Flash =====
-Unfortunately there is no 64 bits flash plugin.
+Unfortunately there is no 64 bits Adobe Flash plugin.
 The first possibility was to install 32 bits binaries of firefox to use 32 bits plugin. The problem is that it is possible to launch simultaneously a 64 bits and 32 bits version of firefox, so that you had the choice between using always the 32 bits binaries (which is a little bit frustrating), or closing all your sessions of firefox when you want to use flash and launch the 32 bits version.

-I tested it with flash7 and it works perfectly, and it is said that it works very well with beta flash9 too.

+==== The sound problem ====
+For a long time I experienced a sound problem with Amd64+Flash+ndiswrapper: flash was stealing the sound card and never releasing it, so that I had no sound in Flash if I was using sound in other software, and once I used sound in Flash I couldn't get it back in other software. The only solution was to restart alsasound service (''/etc/init.d/alsasound restart''), that was killing Flash with all other software using sound, but if I wanted Flash back I had to restart firefox. Pretty annoying.
+After a long search, I ended finding a really simple solution [[http://gentoo-wiki.com/Adobe_Flash/AMD64#Troubleshooting_Flash:_Sound_Problems|here]]: just rebuild ''emul-linux-x86-soundlibs''.
