[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#705901: chromium: Regression in 26: choppy video with pepper flash plugin

[Gustavo Lopes]

Package: chromium
Version: 26.0.1410.43-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After having upgraded to 26.0.1410.43-1, I've experienced a problem
with flash. When viewing videos, both sound and video become choppy.
This happens consistently across several sites. The interruptions are
very short and very frequent. I'm using the pepper plugin that is
distributed with chrome, version 11.7.700.169 (the latest according to
Adobe's website).

Reverting to chromium=25.0.1364.160-1 resolves this issue.
