Ubuntu version is old 0.8.11~git20120629 like debian wheezy one.
Current Debian 0.8.11~git20130903-3 fixes that.

chithead reports that video started playing once you chose 240p
resolution. Can you confirm that?

A workaround is switching to gstreamer media handler:

$ echo "set MediaHandler gst" > ~/.gnashrc

In command above replace "-M ffmpeg" with "-M gst".

Someone could bisect to figure out what changes need to be backported
to fix that.
