Using ALSA as backend for Flash: The current version of Flash relies on snd_async_add_pcm_handler() to be available in ALSA in all cases. This is ugly (especially from a plugin, since it relies on unix signals), and broken (since they don't properly handle the signal handler context) and cannot be properly supported in the PA backend for libasound (unless we'd resort to some exceptionally ugly hacks, which would have no chances to get upstream to alsa-plugins). Using libflashsupport as backend for Flash: There's a race condition in the way Flash tears down libflashsupport backends. It's something that cannot be worked around from our implementation of libflashsupport. See the explanation down on http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/267 for more information. We talked to Adobe about these issues. Since Flash is closed source software we have no other chance than hoping that they will eventually fix their code. I guess that is what you get when one depends on closed source software. Sorry, but I cannot help you any further.
