From what I gather with my brief chat with Lennart Poettering just now, libflashsupport was necessary for older versions of Flash because of some nasty quirk in their use of ALSA (probing all available channels, which is significantly higher for PulseAudio than physical hardware, causing the player to choke hard), but which now seems not to be needed.

So, if this is correct, libflashsupport should be marked as CONFLICTS with flashplugin-nonfree.

The proper way to get Flash (and all other ALSA apps) using Pulse is to follow the steps in the summary of Bug 198453.

PLEASE TEST THIS! Remember to remove libflashsupport from your system!
