I wouldn't use swfdec. It makes my firefox 3.x crash (FreeBSD
7.1-RELEASE-p4 #12). In addition, I can't see any videos in my laptop
(AMD64 1600) despite the CPU is with 100% use. It works _mostly_ fine
in my other computer (Dual Core machine with the same FreeBSD version)
but too often it doesn't play sound with youtube videos .

My two cents.

Cheers
