I finally got around to researching the problem with the Flash 64 plugin from Adobe and certain audio - I found that there were issues with that plugin and mp3 audio which caused a crackly audio with certain sites. The recommendation was to use nsplugin and the 32 bit Flash plugin. I've done that, but now I get mysterious white bars which flash across the screen, both horizontally and vertically when I play flash video, such as video on the CNN site. I'm running Fedora 14 with all the latest updates.
Anyone found this, and have a solution?

Does the effect sound like something is making noise like buzzing or beeping every half second or so (sort of a regular pulse of noise that keeps repeating during the video)? I haven't tried to figure out what is going on yet, but I randomly get sound like that from some sites (I never know when I'm going to hear it).
I can't even attempt to use the 32 bit flash and nspluginwrapper because I constantly run into this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658225
Actually, I've gotten KVM, Windows XP, and spice running pretty well, so if I'm desperate to access something that doesn't work right, I can always do it from my Windows XP virtual machine and internet explorer :-(.
I suspect the other alternative is to install 32 bit firefox (along with required 32 bit libraries) and use flash without the nspluginwrapper.

There's a known bug in the most recent 64 bit flash that corrupts the audio.
Linus's fix for Chrome works for me for Firefox, too:

Adobe acknowledged this bug -- they should fix it in whenever the next 64 bit flash plugin comes out.
