I  had followd the thread in full, none  of the patch procedure or symlinks
etc, nothing works ,  I am running out of all ideas one thing I noticed was
that the mplayer which I installed with simple make install clean  all have
gotten just right and I can see them all in  and it works each and everytime

This is output of my about:plugins.

I am really about to give up on this flash player or shockwave flash

I tried performing all the steps discussed with both flash 7 and flash 9,
wrapper etc whatever with just no succcess
