It may be from the RAM/CPU if the video is high-resolution. Nouveau
still has to do a lot of things in software that the proprietary driver
does in hardware. If sys-process/htop shows 100% CPU or RAM usage,
that's probably it. To rule out the network you can try net-misc/youtube-dl.

Not necessary (there's no nouveau USE flags at the moment).
