Bad flash sound in Firefox, Chrome (youtube norm)

There is a solution but it seems that it works only once - the first run (adding to a shortcut LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/linusmemcpy.so /usr/bin/firefox &) . Then an error occurs:

Failed to execute child process "LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/linusmemcpy.so" (No such file or directory)

linusmemcpy.so exists in the location but it does not work.

It was by the advice:
1. Cut and paste this into a prompt:
---Cut below---

Code:

cat > $HOME/Downloads/linusmemcpy.c <<EOF
#include <sys/types.h>

void *memcpy(void *dst, const void *src, size_t size)
{
void *orig = dst;
asm volatile("rep ; movsq"
:"=D" (dst), "=S" (src)
:"0" (dst), "1" (src), "c" (size >> 3)
:"memory");
asm volatile("rep ; movsb"
:"=D" (dst), "=S" (src)
:"0" (dst), "1" (src), "c" (size & 7)
:"memory");
return orig;
}
EOF
cd $HOME/Downloads
gcc -O2 -c linusmemcpy.c
ld -G linusmemcpy.o -o linusmemcpy.so

---Stop cutting here---

2. Shutdown any running copies of your webbrowser.

3. Until a Adobe has fixed their Flash player, start your webbrowser as below:

For Firefox users:

Code:

LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/Downloads/linusmemcpy.so /usr/bin/firefox &

For Google Chrome users:

Code:

LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/Downloads/linusmemcpy.so /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome &

[mod]Please use [CODE] tags when posting command lines, source, ...

Argh! Chrome! Go away!

Google's pushing their pet browser with the relentlessness of a drug seller, which makes me more and more suspicious of it by the day. Now they're trying to insert it as opt-out "goodies" with program updates... In this case, Skype presented me with a "push this to not override your default...

TSOCKS(1)						      General Commands Manual							 TSOCKS(1)

NAME

       tsocks - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the tsocks(8) library to transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy

SYNOPSIS

       tsocks [application [application's arguments]]
       or tsocks [-on|-off]
       or tsocks

DESCRIPTION

       tsocks is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application what you would like to run socksified.

OPTIONS

       [application [application's arguments]]
	      run  the	application  as specified with the environment (LD_PRELOAD) set such that tsocks(8) will transparently proxy SOCKS connec-
	      tions in that program

       [-on|-off]
	      this option adds or removes tsocks(8) from the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. When tsocks(8) is  in  this  variable  all  executed
	      applications  are  automatically	socksified. If you want to use this function, you HAVE to source the shell script from yours, like
	      this: "source /usr/bin/tsocks" or ". /usr/bin/tsocks"
	      Example:
	      ". tsocks -on" -- add the tsocks lib to LD_PRELOAD (don't forget the leading dot!)
	      ". tsocks -off" -- remove the tsocks lib from LD_PRELOAD (don't forget the leading dot!)

       [-show|-sh]
	      show the current value of the LD_PRELOAD variable

       <without any argument>
	      create a new shell with LD_PRELOAD including tsocks(8).

AUTHOR

       This script was created by Tamas SZERB <toma@rulez.org> for the debian package of tsocks. It (along with this manual page) have since  been
       adapted into the main tsocks project and modified.
