Talk-throughs don't play in Ubuntu/Firefox

[pamelafox]

Our SoundManager fallback isn't working on Ubuntu/Firefox. Ubuntu FF doesn't have the same HTML5 media support, so it should use Flash, but the Flash fallback is failing.

This might be replicable in Opera/Mac, which also fails (and may be the same reason, or not..)

What version of Ubuntu/Firefox are they using? Do we know if Flash is installed or not?

I noticed that I had an VM with Ubuntu installed so I gave this a try and was able to reproduce it. I believe that flash support isn't installed either, by default. When you have a call to getSound it says that it can't load the .mp3 file. I ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and that got rid of the error. I wasn't able to hear the sound, but I think that's because I can't play any audio in my VM for some reason.
