Thx, I looked at that and there weren't any. Meanwhile, I tried gnash
and found that it doesn't work at all. Lightspark depends on
pulseaudio, and I don't want to install that. Are there any
alternatives --- preferably using mplayer?
It's no more than a video which mplayer can play once you can download
it, so what's the problem?
