Adobe Flash Player Bug
I think I've narrowed down the problem with Flash-based MP3 player applets on our Music Page. At least in my tests, the results are now consistent. I'm confident that Adobe has introduced a bug in recent versions of the Adobe Flash Player. I think I may be the first person to characterize and narrow down this bug with enough detail for them to be able to do something useful with it.
The problem is only if you are on Firefox, only if you are on Windows, only if you have version 9.0.115.0 or 9.0.124.0 of the Adobe Flash Plugin installed (124 happens to be the latest and greatest as of this writing), and only with pages built a certain very specific way. If you're the type who likes to poke around at someone else's bugs, have a look here and let me know if you get the same issues.
I've submitted this as a bug to Adobe, but that was just through theirdev/null redirector web form, so who knows if they'll respond. Anyone got any contacts at Adobe?
Edit: I think I've implemented a reasonable work-around. If you still can't play the sound clips on our Music Page, please let me know in comments to this thread.
