Do you know the version number of the Flash plugin?
You can get this from running:
strings libflashplayer.so | grep "Shockwave Flash 9.0"
Or running about:plugins in Iceweasel and reading the line below "File name"
for the Flash plugin.

Yeah, the Ubuntu nspluginwrapper package is the Debian nspluginwrapper
package, so the problem existing there as well doesn't come as a surprise :)

I get the same output right up to the "aborting" line. That part is hard to
track down.
I've looked for the string in nspluginwrapper and Flash and it doesn't come
from there.
Viewing the URL you provided, I managed to play the entire track without
crashing. I'm still puzzled!
Just out of interest - have you tried installing Iceweasel in an i386 chroot
and installing the same libflashplayer.so into that installation and testing
the same URL? I'd be tempted to believe that Iceweasel would crash and quit
on an i386. nspluginwrapper gives you a certain safety net in that if a
rogue plugin dies, the wrapper dies. On i386 it takes the whole browser with
it.
I'm tempted to believe that this may be a bug in the Flash plugin, but I
can't replicate it. Let me know the above information and I'll try and work
it out!
Thanks,
rob.
