 Replying to [comment:2 rsavoye]:
 > I don't think swfdec is an option at this time, it's primarily oriented
 towards YouTube video, and not towards web navigation with Flash, and
 other more generic usages of Flash as a browser plugin. The Adobe player,
 is of course, very far from "free software". Implementing streaming video
 is our primary focus as well right now, (ala YouTube) and will be working
 in the next Gnash release.

 That's not entirely true.  I've tried the most recent swfdec against
 things like Homestar Runner and Neurotically Yours, and it plays them
 almost perfectly now (barring some weird white rectangles that seem to
 flicker on top of the display quite often, but it looks easily fixable).
