Are we sure, as Paul says, it is the same flashplayer? The plugin from
Adobe, which is what flashplugin-nonfree installs:
brian@desktop:~$ ls -l libflashplayer.so
-rw-rw-r-- 1 brian brian 17459332 Aug 7 19:50 libflashplayer.so
The plugin from flashplayer-mozilla:
brian@desktop:~$ ls -l libflashplayer.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 brian brian 17432460 Aug 11 18:14 libflashplayer.so
The md5sums are different too. Now, why is that and does it matter?
The respective packages are based on the same source.
http://www.adobe.com/uk/software/flash/about/
identifies both plugins as the same version.
I am not claiming the file size difference implies different behaviour.
I would move the flashplayer-mozilla plugin in /usr/lib/mozilla out of
the way and substitute the flashplugin-nonfree one. What does that get
us for 4od and the iplayer?

Intriguing. Are the HAL packages installed?
