The YouTube bug still persists in the latest rekonq build I did from GIT
last night. The problem seems to appear only on the YouTube site. I am
running Flash 10.2.161.23 64bit on Arch Linux. The problem is present even
if I run Flash 10.1 32bit in nsplugin wrapper.

I made a short screen capture demonstrating the problem. Audio works well
even on YouTube... I just had my headphones plugged in. You can see that
YouTube videos on YouTube do not work, but work when embedded e.g. in Google
Buzz and also Vimeo works.

If you need more info, do let me know.
