This might be a long shot, and the Phenom II should have it, but do you have
LAHF support on that CPU?  For a while Flash 10 would generate the LAHF
instructions but some early AMD CPUs didn't support them, so crash-city.

If 'grep -i lahf /proc/cpuinfo' outputs content then that isn't the problem.

(I bet it isn't the cause, but when I hit this we had success on most YouTube
 content, but pretty much nothing else, so it sounded all similar and all.)

Maybe Apple will win and replace it with HTML5. ;)
