Comment 308 for bug 192888

Sorry for the duplication, but there has been some overlapping discussion between this bug and bug #198453.

If you look at post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/198453/comments/109 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/198453/comments/111 (for 64bit users, thanks to Shot for the assistance), testing packages are available that essentially solve the (dire) situation with Flash and PulseAudio. Provided that we can backport/SRU the necessary packages for Hardy, and Flash 10 final comes soon, this bug is now completely fixable.

I have been running with this configuration for the past two days, and I haven't seen a single crash in Firefox or Flash. And yes, Flash uses PulseAudio, so there should be no more audio mixing conflicts.
