[Bug 235135] Re: [MASTER] Please backport flashplugin-nonfree version 10 beta and asound-plugins from Intrepid so we can drop libflashsupport and the crashes it causes

[Daniel T Chen]

Ok, this is just a mess.  32-bit users normally don't see crashes with
libflashsupport installed (but some do).  64-bit users will see crashes.
We need to rip out libflashsupport from intrepid's archive
(source+binary) and remove it from intrepid's flashplugin-nonfree's
suggests.

Wait, it gets better.  Doing the above will resolve Flash-related
crashers for people using PulseAudio with Flash, but it does absolutely
nothing for people who want to use PulseAudio with Flash.  (I don't want
to ask how certain people got libflashsupport installed, but...)
Remember that alsa-libs and alsa-plugins need to be backported, too, and
until the entire ALSA+PulseAudio stack is upgraded to its intrepid
counterpart, those users are still screwed.

In other words, PulseAudio users gain nothing with this backport until
alsa-lib and alsa-plugins are also backported so that libflashsupport
can be removed.

ALSA users should ensure they don't have an /etc/asound.conf or
~/.asoundrc, as using overridden definitions vastly complicates the
error paths.  And, of course, they shouldn't have libflashsupport
installed.

64-bit users need to ensure nspluginwrapper and lib32asound2 remain
installed.
