Opera 9.10 Flash problems

Hi there.

Been using Opera for 5 years now and lately I migrated
from WinXP to OpenSuse 10.2. Still using Opera, what else. Wink

But there is a serious problem with the flash-player-plugin.

For example when listening to a song on myspace.com:
The sounds freezes and crackles when scrolling the website
or switching tabs.

My Opera-Version:
Version 9.10
Build 521
Plattform Linux
OS i686, 2.6.18.2-34-default
Qt-Bibliothek 3.3.7

My flash-player:
flash-plugin-9.0.31.0-release

I don't want to use Firefox in order to branchless play
flash-media Sad

Any idea about this problem?

It's running on laptop with Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz,
ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility RV350 with radeon-driver.

When using Firefox everything works fine, so I am quite convinced this
is NOT a hardware/driver issue Wink

I will also check that, but this really seems to be an Opera-specific
problem.

By the way:
When using Opera 9.02 with WinXP on my PC the soundcontrol-buttons
on my Laptop (Volume and Mute) don't affect the sound when Opera is
maximized - always had to minimize Opera in order to mute the laptop.
This has been fixed with the 9.10 release but meanwhile I think my
laptop doesn't like Opera Wink

Try the following (ensure Opera is not running first)

export OPERAPLUGINWRAPPER_PRIORITY=0
opera &

See if you can duplicate the issue/problem.

Well it's working flawless this way!!!
No more problem playing the flash-song and browsing/
scrolling.

I am not very into bash, but I guess this workout
will just work for the moment, right? How do
I fix this durable?

Perhaps you also wanna see the console-output:
