Description of problem: I get no sound playing flash objects, either with flash-plugin or with swfdec. In addition, I see npviewer.bin segfaults in /var/log/messages: Aug 7 07:23:49 localhost kernel: npviewer.bin[5111]: segfault at aaaaaaaa ip 0080c5f8 sp bfac6ca0 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.1706.0[7e3000+42000] Aug 7 07:24:37 localhost kernel: npviewer.bin[5443]: segfault at aaaaaaaa ip 0080c5f8 sp bfa98c70 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.1706.0[7e3000+42000] Aug 7 07:25:22 localhost kernel: npviewer.bin[5582]: segfault at aaaaaaaa ip 0080c5f8 sp bf972350 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.1706.0[7e3000+42000] An example URL is 'http://nytimes.com' [Big flash object about one screen down.] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nspluginwrapper-1.1.0-5.fc10.i386 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

If you are using Flash 9, then you need libflashsupport.i386 installed for sound to work. There are known sound related race conditions in Flash 9 that can cause npviewer.bin to crash. If you are using Flash 10 beta, it no longer needs libflashsupport.i386, however it triggers a bug in Firefox 3 causing firefox to crash. This will be fixed in the upcoming firefox-3.0.2.
OK. Thanks. Running flash 9: flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386 libflashsupport-000-0.5.svn20070904.i386 Installing libflashsupport.i386 indeed fixes the lack of sound. Thanks! Per your message, I still get segfault, I believe when I close the tab....

AFAIK the crashes you are experiencing are due to bugs in Flash 9 itself. Nothing we can do about it.
