After clicking on "Morning Edition" in Squeeze and Iceweasel with

with data but it is "darkened out" i.e. it is rendered dark and
nothing can be selected.

As noted previously in this thread the GNU Flash player 'gnash' does
not (yet) work with the Flash used on the www.npr.org site.  That is
the nature of the problem with Flash.  FLOSS versions will always be
chasing the closed versions.

Any suggestions?

1. Participate in the advocacy for free protocols.  We should not be
   caught in traps like this.

2. Work with the GNU Flash team to improve gnash until it does work in
   all cases.

3. Obviously if you are using a platform for which there is the closed
   source proprietary version such as a 32-bit x86 platform then you
   could install the Adobe Flash player for it.  I can't recommend
   doing this but it does work with that combination.


Thanks Bob. Suddenly success with Iceweasel 7.0.1 and Adobe Flash 10.3d162 in Sid arch. amd64. Upon selecting "Listen" and "24hr news" I get the window that first shows "Loading..." then text + buttons and "Buffering" then sound starts without needing to take action. Wow.
