because I am using linux since Suse 6.2. And in that time I have listened to a lot of music, watched a lot of movies and did a lot of things in parallel. Just yesterday I watched a music video on youtube, while hunting for something sounding almost identical on my harddisk - using vlc. So firefox&flash and vlc were working fine. > >> I don't use wine.

That is a lot quicker and less painful than that wine crapfest shitting all over the place.
