After I installed amd64 Testing, I noticed that I was hearing clicks
after every several seconds on my speakers (as if an electronic switch
was toggling), once on the left and then on the right. I then installed
pulseaudio (and its related packages) and also flash plugin (by
following the painless method given here:
http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer#DebianTesting.27Squeeze.27amd64
), created a file ~/.asoundrc (and a /etc/asound.conf file) with the
following contents:
#-----------------------------------------
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}

pcm.!default {
type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
#-----------------------------------------

rebooted and the clicks were gone, pulseaudio was working as it should
and flashplayer was also chugging along nicely.

Haven't tried skype yet, the other application that I use now and then
that will need a hack to run in 64 bit enviroment (I am trying to
convert all my contact to use ekiga).

Regards.
