One requirement missing is SSE2 support from the CPU. Without it the
plugin won't run. (In Chromium it even disables it completely). This
might be a problem for Athlons XPs that can run faster then 2.33 Ghz but
don't have SSE2. And yes I saw a bunch of them with exactly this problem
occuring which forced the users to use an outdated flash player version
(10.x) because gnash is still not working very well for video outside
the youtube context (which btw. works like a charm with vlc or
youtube-dl for that matter)
