** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
+ Steps to reproduce this bug:
  
- steps to reproduce this bug:
- 1.  use a machine with an onboard sound chipset that loads snd-hda-intel such 
as the "realtek hd audio" (ALC883)
- 2.  load firefox with flashplugin-nonfree and navigate to a site with flash 
videos that play audio, almost anything on google video or youtube
- 3.  load a video, let it play for a few seconds, then navigate away from the 
page while the video is playing, or close the browser tab while the video is 
still playing.  Around 20% of the time firefox will freeze and have to be 
terminated.
+ 1. Start Firefox with flashplugin-nonfree and navigate to a site with
+ flash videos that play audio (e.g. http://video.google.com)
  
- Testing indicates this is a sound-related problem for the following reasons:
- several other people with the same problem reported having sound chipsets 
that use the same drivers.
- this problem is not limited to firefox, it can also be reproduced in 
konqueror.
- I was able to stop the freezing by disabling onboard sound in the bios, 
another user reported stopping the problem by switching to different sound card
- 
- the problem has been discussed in the following bug report, with 
sound-specific discussion starting on 2007-05-10
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/104470
- 
- also one user reported they could avoid the problem by reverting to the
- pre-feisty kernel 2.6.15-27
+ 2. Play a video for a few seconds then navigate away from the page using
+ your browsers back button. On occasion Firefox will freeze and have to
+ be terminated.
