It perhaps explains why sound and video worked ok for me. I had already 
removed alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, so pulseaudio didn't enter into the 
equation. It's not ideal to DL video on a dialup connection, but during the 
download I was getting 3-5 secs of video, and sound every 2 or 3 mins.

That's on Fedora 8, Firefox, and flash-plugin 9.0r115

The site works also on FC2, where pulseaudio doesn't enter the equation.

Thanks Craig for the info that "go" sites use flash.
