[Bug 192888] Re: firefox crashes on flash contents

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt]]

D4nielfree: as far as I know:  flashplugin-nonfree is the flash plugin
itself (in fact that ubuntu package is only a downloader/installer for
fetching the flash plugin from adobe through the Net and install it),
while libflashsupport is for support flash to be able to play audio
through PulseAudio sound server which is a core component of Ubuntu
Hardy. So if you remove libflashsupport you loose the ability of working
through PulseAudio. If you have a sound card which capable of playing
multiple streams by hardware it's not  a problem, however not every
sound card is from this type, and also the basic idea of PulseAudio (and
its role in Ubuntu Hardy, and also in other distributions like Fedora -
as far as I know at least) is to have an audio server to be able to
control all audio sources and mixing together then.

Ok, if I'm wrong in my explanation somewhere, please correct me!!
