I followed your advice when I discovered your message.
No problem to install the opensolaris guest and the flash player.
Video seems okay, but there is no sound and I cannot find out why.
Needless to say that audio works fine on the host which is still on
8.0-RELEASE-p4 for the time being. I can't imagine that this
could be the reason.

Thank you in advance for any help.
