   I'm not seeing this with Seamonkey2.1b3 - not sure if this is using the    
   same browser code as Firefox4   
      
   I'm currently playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwhtL0LNoQw  Frank    
   Zappa - The Torture Never Stops - HQ (may not be to everyones taste :-)   
      
   I plugged in a 4Gb USB flash drive without causing any jerky video/audio    
   effects, playback continued smoothly.   
      
   I must admit that I do not watch many video clips online but have    
   noticed that some youtube vids seem to be jerky and others play fine. My    
   wife and son both watch far more online than me and agree with the above.   
      
   I also wonder what soundcard driver is involved. If Uniaud it may be    
   worth trying 1 of the recent builds as they are supposed to fix a few    
   problems  http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud

   I'm using the controller drivers updated by Lars    
   http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/system/drivers/misc/usbxhcd8.zip    
   except that I am using USBOHCD.SYS from the usbxhcd7.zip package as the    
   later version seems to have problems here.   
      
   It might be worth giving the above drivers a try - but, based on my    
   experience, use the IBM USBOHCD.SYS.   
      
      
   Just some thoughts
