What's the kicker is when I reinstalled it, it froze Mozilla on a different place inside one flash movie in the above URL (Episode 8, Marroned on Tattotine), and it's also playing the video/anim part faster than the audio (which seems to be a problem for some reason though all the plugin versions).
this is not mozilla issue this is flash 6 (linux) problem, at least I got the same behavior using stand alone gflashplayer on http://www.starland.com/StoneTrek/Images/MAROONED3.swf it could be a timer problem... ccing emillard@macromedia.com

There seem to be two bugs mixed together in this bug. Is the stall still an issue. I haven't reproduced it on r68 which will be released soon. With audio intensive movies you need to note in the bug if you are under GNOME with esd running or not. A hang bug was fixed with esd recently, it was most commonly seen if you did something in the browser that caused audio to not be serviced in a timely manner so audio backlogged. There are some known issues with video sync that probably aren't going to be fixed in this release because they require a redesign. Again are you on GNOME with ESD. The sync problems tend to be worse with ESD.
Let me know when r68 is out. I am using GNOME 1.4 with ESD 0.2.27. Also, is there a way to have Flash use /dev/adsp0 instead of /dev/dsp (I'm using ALSA, and have two cards in here, with /dev/dsp and /dev/adsp0 pointing to an add-in Ensoniq 1371 baised AudioPCI card I have).

FYI, r69 is out, I just grabbed it and installed it (my problem is the reduced performance of version 6 vs. version 5, which I'm looking for bugs on)
I'm suffering from this bug. If I load a page which contains a flash movie with sound, Mozilla freezes when the movie finishes playing. I'm using gnome 1.4, esound 0.2.29, flash 6.0 r69 and Mozilla 2003020122.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I've found that the flash plugin will stall the entire browser immediately (Linux) upon loading a page with a flash object if ESD is installed but not running -- it seems it will try indefinitely to connect to the server and never time out. My solution to this was to uninstall ESD, which I don't want anyways, but I wonder if there's a way to force it to use OSS output instead. Hope this is helpful to someone. #0 0x405b2982 in __libc_connect () at __libc_connect:-1 #1 0x40208343 in connect (fd=37, addr= {__sockaddr__ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_at__ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_ax25_ _ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_dl__ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_eon__ = 0xbfff98d8, __s ockaddr_in__ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_in6__ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_inarp__ = 0 xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_ipx__ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_iso__ = 0xbfff98d8, __socka ddr_ns__ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_un__ = 0xbfff98d8, __sockaddr_x25__ = 0xbfff98 d8}, len=16) at wrapsyscall.c:193 #2 0x4214a5eb in esd_resume () from /opt/gnome/lib/libesd.so #3 0x4214a86c in esd_open_sound () from /opt/gnome/lib/libesd.so #4 0x411c3867 in UnixSoundESD::Open () from /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so #5 0x411c2171 in PlatformSoundMix::OpenDevice () from /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so #6 0x411c1e8d in PlatformSoundMix::PlatformConstruct () from /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so #7 0x41142135 in CoreSoundMix::Construct () from /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so #8 0x4118a3de in CoreGlobals::Init () from /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so #9 0x411617c9 in CorePlayer::CorePlayer () from /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so #10 0x411973e5 in UnixCommonPlayer::UnixCommonPlayer ()
