Is that supposed to say isn't working properly?  I just tested gnash on
youtube (because it is so commonly requested; it's not of particlar
interested to me and up to now I've just not used flash at all because
I only knew about gnash and it didn't support any site I wanted) and all
I get is the replay or share buttons that are supposed to show up after
the video, not the video itself (this is gnash in lenny, which ATM is
the same as the one in sid), while swfdec-mozilla in lenny does work.
OTOH neither works with the site I actually am interested in.
Fortunately for that site their audio podcast provides the same
information so it's not critical, but would rather just be nice to be
able to see the video.
