Hi David,

Is that a Flash video? If so, try shutting Flock down and trying Media
Player again - you might have to restart Media Player too. I think
that Flash doesn't play very nicely with PulseAudio on 8.04 (hardy).

Someone else on the list might be able to tell a better solution, but
I've found that it works for me when I've got conflicts with Flash in
Firefox and Rhythmbox in my 8.04 installation.

There's also a wiki page which might help at
