I have a system that has only basic VGA video on board and requires a separate video card for anything else. The card installed is an Nvidia. I had to switch the card from interrupt to polling in order to get a stable video player in Firefox. But now Firefox provides no audio. On the same system both MPlayer and Chromium handle audio and video without problem. But these also worked before I switched from interrupt to polling.
