Ok ... I'm not really sure what happened, but I'm not experiencing the
crash anymore.

What I noticed was:
- sometimes the video would start playing, but would stop after a few seconds. 
I could try to  forward the the video, but it would never play through.
- it was not limited to YouTube, a couple of other Flash-players I tested had 
the same problem
- I had the idea it was limited to video playback in Flash; other Flash movies 
(e.g. ads or simulations) didn't seem to be affected. Haven't tested this much, 
though.

For what it's worth, here are the steps I took after this crash (which somehow 
fixed the problem for me):
- reinstalled nvidia driver v169.12 from nVidia website (since restricted 
driver is linked to 386 kernel which breaks my USB audio)
- selected Pulse Audio Sound Server in Sound Preferences since ALSA didn't seem 
to handle multiple audio playbacks (e.g. a video in Firefox and Exaile! playing 
at the same time) very well. I didn't have this problem in Gutsy, btw. Oh, and 
I'm using the Bose Companion 5 USB audio (which is now working perfectly - 
thanks!)
- Maybe nice to know: I've upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy (so no clean install)

Good luck finding the bug and keep up the good work!
