When the Adobe plugin is installed, FF's about:plugins page lists both Shockwave 9 and Shockwave 10 support, while it only shows 9 with gnash/swfdec.

I don't know what happens when both are installed at once, you could certainly try it. Make sure to restart FF after installing a new plugin, too.

Thank you Ryan. I too used to run x86_64 on my Athlon64 system
I go tired of having to install the wrappers, which failed more often than
I cared to put up with.

I just uninstalled adobe flash 10, and installed gnash and gnash-plugin. Will restrart browser and try this. Will let you know how it went
in a couple of days, because I need to see if the audio stuttering will happen again.

Cheers,

MK
