It seems like my problem might be related to this.  I had been trying to
watch some http://openstreetmap.org related flash videos (with
dificulty**).

http://showmedo.com/videos/video?name=1800000&fromSeriesID=180

As an experiment I watched one of these videos offline, went into
hibernate briefly and when I came up again the audio was working...
So I still can not reproduce the problem.

I'll keep watching it.


** Problems with flash videos.  In general these seem to require more
bandwidth than youtube videos but it may also be that I'm getting less
bandwidth than I'd expect (125 kB/sec -- 1Mb/s) with my Mpls wireless
connection than i would expect.  I do not feel like I have a great way
telling if I am getting the speed I should.  Of course there are other
complications - my son watching video at the same time or a puase audio
stream taking up some bandwidth.
