I am using Iceweasel (Firefox) 7.0 in Sid with the gnash (GNU flash) plugin on a 64-bit amd64 desktop. None of the Flash content will play using the latest gnash. This includes the online streaming audio feed and all of their Listen links which all use the flash player plugin. Their audio is available for download as mp3 format and that plays fine. Using Stable Squeeze with Iceweasel (Firefox) 7.0 packaged for Debian from http://mozilla.debian.net/ and the 32-bit nonfree Adobe Flash plugin works fine and plays the audio and videos without problem. Everything appears perfectly and I have no problems of any kind. I mostly listen to NPR by computer not from the www.npr.org site but by streaming from one of a couple of local radio stations using mplayer. I do this because when I am not at the computer I can hear those stations directly by broadcast radio. In any case they make the content available more easily than the upstream site. You might investigate your local public radio stations and see if you can access their site for streaming more easily too. Bob
