On a Debian PPC system I was barely able to make a few pages with
flash work, but it was very sporadic. The flash player for gstreamer
(swfdec) seems most promising mainly because it doesn't crash and
bring the browser down with it. Unfortunately the plugin doesn't
really work in most cases.I was able to make it play a few files
outside the browser but not reliably or even acceptably.
