Thanks for your quick reply. gstreamer0.10-plugins packages installed on my system are: $ dpkg -l | grep gstreamer0.10-plugins | cut -b 1-68 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.19-2 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.8-1 Please note that I have the latter installed on my system, just because of swfdec-mozilla: $ aptitude why gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly i swfdec-mozilla Depends libswfdec-0.8-0 i A libswfdec-0.8-0 Recommends gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly > Sometimes those videos need nonfree plugins like > gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly or gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad or something > similar. I saw the same YouTube videos a while ago with swfdec-mozilla/0.6.0-5. I didn't have different gstreamer plugins packages installed. Audio used to work fine. Hence, I would be surprised to learn that the new swfdec-mozilla/0.8.2-1 needs gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad in order to play the audio of those same YouTube videos... Anyway, if swfdec-mozilla now needs (or is significantly enhanced by) gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, the new libswfdec-0.8-0 package should recommend it. As an aside, bad and ugly gstreamer plugins are not non-free at all, otherwise their inclusion in main would be a serious bug! If you are being misled by the "distribution problems" currently mentioned in the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly package description, please see bug #496556 ... -- On some search engines, searching for my nickname AND "nano-documents" may lead you to my website... .....................................................
