3) What is expected to happen in Firefox with Lightspark at the following website:

is the video plays.

4) What happens instead is that it does not. In the place of the video it notes:

This should be fixed in Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" with lightspark 0.5.1-0ubuntu1

According to the upstream release notes at http://janimo.blogspot.com/2011/09/lightspark-051-released.html :

"For users, the most visible change is that YouTube is working again - their player keeps getting updated and sometimes it introduces Flash APIs or VM opcodes which are not fully implemented in Lightspark, resulting in breakage."

A PPA for Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal can be found at https://launchpad.net/~sparkers/+archive/daily/

Can you please test and let us know?
