I'm still pretty sure that worked for me when I was running 32-bit Ubuntu (Edgy).
I'm now running 64-bit Edgy, and hadn't reinstalled it yet. So I tried to do so to watch this video and this time couldn't get sound to work with Flash 7. But the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava said to install Flash 9, which fixed it.

I wish I could say the same. I run Gentoo and can't get any sound out of Firefox. I already upgraded to netscape-flash-9. I enabled ALSA support and OSS support in the kernel, installed alsa-oss... I'm out of ideas.

Great video! I think the C++ guys comments are humorous.

But Walter, you look about 20 years younger than I expected :)

Sorry no offence meant about ponytail, I posted here before finishin the video, and the person turns around in video and identifies as a male, but otherwise kind of hard to tell :)

My hair is too curly to have a ponytail :( so I was always shunned by the unix community
