None of these latter programs deal especially with pulseaudio. Instead
they just talk Alsa, which pulseaudio claims to be.
I'm sure Adobe is to blame, I'm just saying pulseaudio is really new and
pretty much sucks.
As for the videos that you speak of, mplayer has always struggled with
them on any sound system. Convert them to a sane format (like xvid or
something) and they play much, much nicer. Raw jpeg video streams are
typically not dealt with well by any program other than QuickTime Player
in my experience.
mplayer won't play ANYTHING on pulseaudio (for me) without skips and
pauses. When I first installed f8 and pulseaudio on this machine, I
transcoded a DVD clip down to 320x240 xvid and it STILL would'nt play
it. vlc is fine, and mplayer -ao oss is fine. pulseaudio sucks. I
just haven't gotten around to removing it.
