There was a lightspark release two days ago, I installed it yesterday
and watched one youtube video with it. It seemed to work (firefox,
alsa). The controls were totally messed up though.

youtube is pretty much the most important site now though, but I start
to dislike it more and more due to stuff like:
"Content was removed due to copyright claims from Lucas Arts"
or
"This bbc video is not available outside the UK"

Sure, we don't have enough borders yet, we need some more virtual ones.
