[Bug 249553] [NEW] flashplugin-nonfree Version 10 beta won't properly play ".swf" contents

[luvr]

Public bug reported:

In an attempt to solve the stability issues with Firefox and the Flash
plugin, and to allow simultaneous access to the sound hardware by
multiple applications, I followed parts A and B of the Ubuntu Forum post
at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900. Actually, I ran the
“pulse-audio-fixes” script (which I wrote in order to easily repeat the
procedure on other computers). Furthermore, I added my user account to
the “pulse-audio” and “pulse-rt” groups, as suggested by the forum post.

As the most important results of this procedure, the “flashplugin-
nonfree” plugin was upgraded to the Version 10 Beta release
“10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1,” and the “libflashsupport” package got
uninstalled.

While both of the original problems were solved, the Flash plugin
apparently has great trouble playing “.swf” content on web pages. As an
example, videos from “http://www.metacafe.com” won't properly play with
this beta version of the plugin: Sometimes they simply won't play at
all, sometimes they will take ages to start, only to play for a few
seconds and then stop, sometimes the content that does play only shows a
part of the image, etc.

I tested the Flash 9 plugin on a second computer, which played the
contents from the Metacafe site fine. When I subsequently upgraded the
plugin to the Version 10 beta, it ran into the exact same problems as
the first machine.
