This is based on the following question:
"
Latest swfdec release version is 0.6.6 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/swfdec/2008-April/001428.html

FIX: fix a crash for palettized images
COMMIT: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=swfdec/swfdec.git;a=commit;h=a126ae9d57e0729ac758b76b4dba415a04a9221f
REDHAT-BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441614
TEST CASE: Open with swfdec-player test/image/crash-0.6.4-huge-image-*.swf in the 0.6.6 tarball

FIX: fix a crash for oversized images
COMMIT: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=swfdec/swfdec.git;a=commit;h=8e2db4e7340135fb07f42a6c1409988293d2f843
TEST CASE: Open with swfdec-player test/image/definebits-palette-*.swf in the 0.6.6 tarball

FIX: make ALSA devices work that don't support mmap (such as Pulse audio)
COMMIT: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=swfdec/swfdec.git;a=commit;h=3c743afcb529963d4f8da2bdd826c62aa915c0e1
TEST CASE: See Bug #213520

FIX: compile fix for ARM
TEST CASE: Compile on ARM (though not used, it's just a minimal change)

It is a bugfix update, with only minimal changes. It enhances support for users using PulseAudio via ALSA, fixes segfaults with palettized images, and should have no negative impact on the users.

The Stable Release Updates policy (which is described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) requires that the submitter to include the following information which is missing from your bug report:

1. A statement explaining the impact of the bug on users and justification for backporting the fix to the stable release
2. Detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug. These should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem. Please mark this with a line "TEST CASE:".
3. A discussion of the regression potential of the patch and how users could get inadvertently effected.

Furthermore, Stable Release Updates are usually minimally invasive patches and not entire new upstream releases but if you can provide the extra information required then we might approve it notwithstanding considering the nature of the release. Please ensure you address each change!
