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. Nigel.
