Luke,
When you say that you cannot get sound from flash, are you referring to flash 9? Currently, our only "sane" options are:
1. Flash 9 + libflashsupport + nspluginwrapper. This is suboptimal as it does not prevent flash from crashing, it merely provides a layer of protection to prevent Firefox from crashing with flash.
2. Flash 10 + bug #198453 configuration - libflashsupport. This configuration allows flash sound to get routed through pulseaudio without any crashes.
I wrote a guide on the forums to set up this second option, and nobody has complained about Flash since. I have been using Flash 10 non-stop and Firefox has not crashed a single time, even after extended browsing on flash-enabled sites.
Yes, you may argue that point 2 is not attractive as flash 10 is a beta version, but if it is the most functional solution, then I believe it merits testing at the very least. Since intrepid already has the beta flash plugin packaged, why don't we include it in hardy-backports?
