Talking about nspluginwrapper: I strongly suggest not to use it. I
know that some distros are thinking of even wrapping 64-bit plugins
including Ubuntu with the thought that it will improve security and
stability of the browser. This is a very bad idea in the state
nspluginwrapper is in today. We have done some internal testing and
discovered that several features in the Flash Player are broken when
the plugin is wrapped. More importantly performance and user
experience is pretty bad when the plugin is wrapped. Why? Lots of data
needs to be transfered through IPC channels. I hope that browser
vendors will eventually come up with a better architecture to wrap
plugins without sacrificing performance, stability and functionality.

His statement that the wrapper breaks features of the player needs to be
expanded. What features? Are they deliberately blocked for security or
stability reasons? We aren't given any information information that
indicates that the wrapper's architecture is wrong but the player's is
right. He might be right but he certainly hasn't proven his case. All we
know at this point is that his coding of the player is incompatible with
the wrapper.
