[Bug 226520] Re: Sound and video choppy in Hardy Heron

[teledyn]

I have the same issue as Cheryl, using adobe-flashplugin on 8.04 on a
Dell Inspiron 1521, the sound on Audacious, mplayer and alsaplay can be
playing just fine but any youtube (or vimeo or any other flash-delivered
sound or video) will be silent for a long while, then will hiccup for
several minutes on some random sub-second sample, then will play for a
second or two and then repeats the cycle.  I'd say there is a buffering
issue either within the plugin or in the plugin's interaction with alsa.

Also interesting: the mplayer plugin also locks up, it doesn't even
begin to play.

This is on a fresh install of 8.04 (supported until 2010 ;) upgraded to
all the latest packages; because of the forward-thinking of AMD and
their abandoning the X1200 chipset products, I am forbidden to upgrade
to any newer Ubuntu.  Also worthy of note: Just prior to the 9.04
release this was working very well using the old Flash-9 based
flashplugin-nonfree plugin (with the exception of lockups if the plugin
was used with certain gstreamer-based packages like Rhythmbox), but it
did work.

Unfortunately the flashplugin-nonfree needs to be dropped from the Hardy
distro as it depends on the
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
which is no longer available on the macromedia site.
