No sound with flash player with Ubuntu 12.04, flash 11.2.202 and pulseaudio 1:1.1-0ubuntu1

[Mario Pastorelli]

I have no sound in flash player with Ubuntu. When I open firefox (or chromium) with a page that needs the flash player, the video starts but pavucontrol doesn't show any stream. So I think flash doesn't use pulseaudio as output device. I tried to fix this by installing the firefox add-ons that manage flashplayers installs and by following the flash player tutorial in the Ubuntu wiki without luck*. I have sound for everything else.

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04

alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0u
flashplugin-in 11.2.202.238ub
pulseaudio 1:1.1-0ubuntu1

* very annoing the tutorial https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#Setting_PulseAudio_as_the_default_sound_card that addresses this bug (Setting PulseAudio as the default sound card) by recommending to use asound-gtk, now asoundconf-gtk, that is broken because asoundconf is no longer in Ubuntu. So the tutorial is broken, but I really would like to know why asoundconf-gtk is still in Ubuntu if asoundconf is not in Ubuntu considering that the first one uses the second one.

Sorry, next time I will use ubuntu-bug.
I have a problem with apport-collect because I don't have flashplugin-nonfree installed and this bug is refering to it. I can't find flashplugin-nonfree but instead I have flashplugin-installer. I tried to set this package as the affected package but bus.launchpad rejects binary packages. What should I do?
