Flash worked for me when I had the 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12 package installed. I upgraded to ...12.1 when the upgrade notifier told me to, and flash stopped working. I believe the 12.1 version didn't download a new version of flash (maybe the original adobe tarball was still in a cache somewhere?) and then complained about a mismatched md5sum. I ended up first forcing the ubuntu12 version from synaptic, and all was well. I then ran
sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
and then re-installed it by going to a site in firefox that needed flash.

After that, I have the 12.1 package installed and flash seems to be working fine (at least youtube is with sound, definitely not extensive testing though)
