Right, sans the debuginfo package.

It would play, just at hyperspeed. Solution was to *remove* the i386
libflashsupport. That is, I now have:

  $ rpm -qa firefox\* nsplugin\* \*flash\* | sort
  firefox-3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9.x86_64
  flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386
  libflashsupport-000-0.5.svn20070904.x86_64
  nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-27.fc9.i386
  nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-27.fc9.x86_64

and everything plays as normal.

On my other test machine (F9, not rawhide), though, I had that, got no
sound, and added the i386 libflashsupport and now it works fine. *shrug*
