Nuvola Player doesn't use Flash plugin for Google Play Music (and
other services that have message "This streaming service should not
need Adobe Flash plugin to work properly."). It works fine without
Flash on Debian Wheezy and Linux Mint 12, but it seems to have
problems on Ubuntu 12.04 :-(. Please run following multi-line command
in terminal and report whether playback works.
