    Audio stuttering in Flash videos

    I've been experiencing an issue with audio playback for certain Flash videos that stream from the web. Most play smoothly, like the videos at Youtube. Others have this strange background noise that is only present when there is audio (usually on news websites that host their own videos). When there is sound, there is a strange stuttering noise that disappears during the silent pauses.

    Here's a perfect example:

    Epidemic Of TSA Criminality: More Agents Caught Stealing Cash From Luggage, Another Arrested For Assault

    The Youtube video at the top plays just fine. If you scroll down and watch the other video in the small box, you'll hear the stuttering.

    I have Fedora 14 KDE, Adobe Flash Player 64 bit Preview Release 3 and RPM Fusion codecs installed. The problem is also present in Fedora 14 with Gnome, same setup. The problematic videos play without the stuttering in Ubuntu.

    Any suggestions?

    Well, I'm running Chrome on SL6 (RHEL 6) with the 64-bit flash 10.3.162 plugin, and it seems fine to me! The audio quality isn't that great, but no stuttering and funny noises. The flash plugin is from the rpmforge/6 repository.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
