Got home from vacation last night and ran yum update. Among other things installed was mplayerplug-in-3.25-1.el4.rf ... now any time I attempt to view CNN video, my sound device locks up -- I eventually end up having to kill firefox, and anything thereafter that attempts to access sound (such as system-config-soundcard) also ends up wedged.
Previously this only happened sporadically and after several hours of successful use of the plugin. I have nVidia onboard sound, using the snd_intel8x0 driver module. Anybody have any suggestions?
