He needs to make sure the .so isnt in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins  removing packages doesnt always remove the .so
Im thinking of only pushing flash 10 to gutsy and forget libflashsupport as it causes most of flash crashes and has as long as i heard of liblflashsupport.

ok maybe we should pull libflashsupport backported package out so we can figure out what is flash and what is libflashsupport. It is possible to run flash without PA or libflash. if we can pull it. I wasnt too keen on backporting that package to begin with but crimsun said to do it and he would figure out pulse audio.
I really really need to know if it is flash for sure causing these crashes. The reason i say this is due to i tested it on youtube for a week or so and on flash website. Now there are some bugs in the package seeing as its flash and its beta version. Adobe doesnt give a crap about linux packages and that is another reason why i dont like flash. i was asked to do this by people in community so i did it. I was unable to get flash to crash on youtube nor flash website. I dont go searching the net for every flash site. 

I also noticed most of the crashes are on 64bit flash with nspluginwrapper and i knwo nspluginwrapper is causing crashes as well.
What steps should be done until final release of flash 10? If we remove it they will still crash on flash 9 most likely same sites that are crashing now. If we remove or blackflag libflashsupport we could cause only one sound able to play at a time. setting PA as default fixes that so no need for libflash than. 
The reason i picked flash website and youtube was because they are the mainly used sites youtube is just popular and flash site people looking for updates to tell us to package it. Honestly i rarely use flash i dont surf youtube or anything for most part unless i testing flash or gnash.

I dont think flash 10 introduced any bugs that 9 didnt have maybe a few but i cant say alot since all flash versions i knew crashed in Linux more so than in Windows.
Please give me ideas on what we can do to fix this. My suggestion if remove/blackflag libflashsupport and hope that final fixes these crashes or atleast next beta fixing them but i would prefer to backport final than doing each beta/RC releases.
