Skipping through youtube movies stops movie, sound continues[SOLVED]

Dear Everyone,

I've been having the following problem for a while:
Whenever I try to watch a youtube-clip in flash format, and I try and skip forward, the image freezes, but the sound continues. This happens both in Chromium and Firefox. Is there someone who knows what's going on, and if there is some way to fix this?
I currently have flashplugin-11.0.1.152-1 64-bit installed, and the nvidia-285.05.09-1 64-bit drivers for my video card.
Thanks a lot!

Linus

Oh, well, I feel kinda silly now... I just remembered I had turned hardware acceleration on (by uncommenting the line in /etc/adobe/mms.config) and tried turning that off again, which seems to have solved the problem... Hope this might help someone else!

I have this problem as well. Also, my entire system freezes sometimes after watching flash stuff for elongated periods (I cant even switch to tty). My hardware acceleration has always been off.
