Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.28.6-2
Severity: normal
Hi, on my current Sid system, I'm experiencing weird sounds in the audio when
playing flash on the web.
This problem has been identified in the following Redhat report.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638477#c46
And the following is the link to the actual bug report to glib, submitted with
packages by Linus Torvalds.
Upstream glib decided to change the way memcpy was handled, in 64-bit, and it
broke binary compatibility, and as such, it creates the problems I am
experiencing with flash sound.
Supposedly, this was closed by upstream glib, and declared to not be a bug.
I share the opinion of Linus, that this should be fixed by Debian in a similar
way to how Fedora has corrected this, until it is fixed upstream and comes into
Debian in that manner.

I currently have a workaround if intersted. It is based on workarounds posted
in the first thread I referenced. But it does not mean the bug shouldn't be
fixed.

Updating Flash today using the command "update-flashplayer-nonfree
--install" fixed the problem for me.
The Flash package downloaded is
