Package: swfdec-mozilla
Version: 0.6.0-2
Severity: wishlist

The swfdec-mozilla package is now a dependency of the gnome package, but it has 
some troubleshootings for some uses.
In facts, I'm knowing about three Flash plugins decoders:
 swfdec-mozilla: it works but is very resource-greedy for video streeming like 
Dailymotion, and gnash reads better other 
 animations. a goot compromise I think;
 mozilla-plugin-gnash: works very well with animations but mostly fail with 
video streeming (bad decoder I think);
 flashplayer-mozilla: not free, not nativly 64 bit, but works with almost all 
Flash uses.

I think that it is a good idea to make a free Flash decoder/plugin coming with 
GNOME by default, but I don't think the free 
implementations are really usables for anyone at this time, and not anyone 
would uninstall the gnome package.

Then, I think that it would be nice to have the choice of witch Flash plugin we 
would use in our browser, e.g. with an 
update-alternatives entry.

Message's conclusion is: I wishes to an update-alternatives flash-plugin entry 
letting the user choose between Gnash, SWFDec and 
Adobe's Flashplayer.


PS:
Please excuse my poor english... I hope you undersand me?
