Bug Description
Chrome plays audio+video in fast forward when using the Pepper version of Shockwave Flash 11.3 r31 running on Ubuntu Precise Pangolin x86_64. This is particularly obvious when using Pandora or YouTube.
I initially believed this to be a Chrome+
This workaround (killing pulseaudio) suggests that the fix for this issue could lie within pulseaudio. The annoying thing is that this bug takes several days to manifest itself, so it's hard to verify a fix. Also, I'm running Ubuntu on a laptop that moves between my office and home daily, so the problem could be even more subtle than it appears.
In any case, I hope that this can help narrow down the issue.
