2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Streaming video. Stream starts and stops immediately.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gecko-mediaplayer - SVN, Gnome-mplayer - 1.0.5

Please provide any additional information below.
Everything was OK. But I don't know what went wrong but gecko-mediaplayer 
doesn't work normaly. When I open some streaming source, no matter from where, 
it starts and stops immediately after 1 sec. What could be a problem? When I 
starts Firefox from terminal i see this:

(gnome-mplayer:5208): Gdk-WARNING **: Native children wider or taller than 
65535 pixels are not supported
in media state change with state = 1

(gnome-mplayer:5208): Gdk-WARNING **: Native children wider or taller than 
65535 pixels are not supported

Try 1.0.6 of gmtk, gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer. Without a site to test 
with I cannot duplicate or resolve this type of issue.

I had a problem with one site only and you helpped me to resolve in this issue 
- http://code.google.com/p/gecko-mediaplayer/issues/detail?id=168&can=1&q=tv7. 
Since then I use SVN version ot gecko-mediaplayer. Now the problem is not in 
this site only. I found this problem in all sites used gecko-mediaplayer - 
http://www.avalonbss.eu (http://www.adult.avalonbss.eu/nova.html), 
http://tv7.bg/liveTV/, and more!

I tried avalongbss.eu and the first site I tried was flash based, so I moved to 
tv7.bg and it works perfectly with today's 1.0.6 release. See attached screen 
shot.

Hm! Now I removed alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and the streams works corectly. But I 
need this plugin because when it's missing tehere is conflict between flash 
player and some other program used my sound card. For example - when I listen 
music I cannot watch youtube clips or other applications using flash-player - 
video works but audio doesn't. And when I watch youtube and want to listen 
music, I cann't. And now what can I do?

Sounds like your mplayer is improperly compiled or configured. I would put the 
alsa plugin back in and try mplayer from the command line with either -ao alsa 
or -ao pulse parameters. Then depending on which one works, configure 
gnome-mplayer to use the correct audio output.

Yes, you are right! Gnome-player works with pulseaudio great. Thank you very 
much ;)
