[PLUG] Multimedia blues

[Floyd Johnson <fljohnson3@isp.com>]

Have you any idea why even under Ubuntu Mate 16.04, FLV-compatible video 
playing under Chrome or Firefox can occasionally cause the whole OS to 
freeze, with the last part of a second of audio repeating, forcing the 
user to do a hard reboot ?

It's one of those one-in-a-million things, and my wild guess is that the 
symptom resembles an out-of-RAM condition so bad (there's 4GB in the 
lappy at issue)  that it can't even thrash.
