max,

Please read the entire bug report before posting, it's already been discussed. The FlashPlayer9Solution page gives instructions to manually build the libflashsupport.so library that is *already* part of the "libflashsupport" package (that you tell us to remove in the first step), so your instructions are redundant.

Flash 9 + libflashsupport = crash
Flash 9 without libflashsupport + proper asound.conf configuration = no audio
Flash 10 + libflashsupport = crash
Flash 10 without libflashsupport + proper asound.conf configuration = works

My previous posts have discussed this and linked to the upstream mailing list; Lennart Poettering has even confirmed that Flash 10 works with the pcm_pulse plugin. Unfortunately flash 10 has its own quirks, entirely independent from PulseAudio. Using a composite manager (compiz, xcompmgr etc.) appears to cause some instability for some users (but not all).

If you want an unoffical "fix", then follow my guide here (although it's only providing instructions to configure PulseAudio as per upstream's "PerfectSetup", and such changes may come to hardy-proposed eventually: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900
