I'm having trouble with Flash-based videos (FLVs, but not SWFs) playing between 5 and 6 times too quickly. My question is, then, some sort of amalgamation of the following (in descending order of importance to me):
1) Is there something I can do to fix (permanently or otherwise) this problem?
2) Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
3) Has the problem been recognized by anyone else? I mean, if there's someone who needs to patch this, do they know about it?
System information:
-- ``uname -a'' (with hostname blanked to protect the stupid)
Linux ******* 2.6.32-25-generic-pae #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 21:57:48 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
-- potentially relevant ``dpkg-query -s adobe-plugin'' information (since it appears to be what I'm using):
Architecture: i386
Version: 10.1.85.3-1lucid1
Browsers affected include both Chrome and Firefox:
-- text of chrome:about

I don't really know what other information might be useful. Please do tell if/when relevant.
In the meantime, hypnotoad is a little bit more entertaining.
