I'm using the latest version from the gnash repository for Ubuntu

Sounds like I should try this on a newer version of gnash under my
Ubuntu 12.04 installation.

I don't have a ~/.gnashrc and I tried both "-M gst" with 360p and "-M
ffmpeg" with 240p and observed no change in results...
18357:3] 32555 ERROR: Can't read file header
18357:3] 32555 ERROR: Unknown file type

Whereas, "-M gst" with 240p seg faults downstream of
swfdec_gst_decoder_init() from libgnashmedia-0.8.10.so.  Sorry, I
don't have the debugging symbols.
