Parent article: LPC: Linux audio: it's a mess

I ran Gnash on my Ubuntu Handy install for a few months - and it worked ok, and played Youtube videos for a while. But after a while it stopped playing Youtube and all other videos - it would just sit there with a spinner.

So I had to remove Gnash and replace it with the original Adobe Flash plugin.

(Unfortunately although there's a straightforward UI from Firefox asking which Flash plugin you'd like to install (I'd picked Gnash), there seemed to be no UI for removing or changing it.)

Install both and then disable one with Tools/Add-ons/Plugins in Firefox 3?
