For the benefit of anyone who also runs into this problem. The way I
had worked in the past till beta 12 was to use the libffmpeg from the
chromium-browser-nonfree-codecs package on Ubuntu (Maverick) on ARM.
(Since I wanted mp3 support which is not enabled in the libffmpeg that
ships with Chromium due to licensing issues)...
Anyway, so I guess the new Chromium builds are no longer compatible
with the libffmpeg that comes with the chromium-browser-nonfree-codec
package. Of course, if I build libffmpeg in the Chromium build then I
can play ogg but mp3s do not work.
Can someone in Chromium team look into this...
