+Googling a bit more and with some experiments, I found the problem.
+Channels are swapped if you use accelerated video rendering but
+software decoding. If both are soft, or both accelerated there is no
+problem.
+
+And, btw, to get hw video decoding I had to write a file in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
+with
+
+EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
+
+There are some more settings here
+
+http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer
+
+and a fully commented file here
+
+http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-plugins/adobe-flash/files/mms.cfg
+
+I don't know how useful are the rest, but this one really enables HW in my
+nvidia card. Perhaps it should be a good idea to add it to the rpm, after
+downloading binaries. If it does not cause trouble in other chipsets.
+Will try on intel...
