[Bug 192888] Re: firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport

[Conn]

Luke,

When you say that you cannot get sound from flash, are you referring to
flash 9? Currently, our only "sane" options are:

1. Flash 9 + libflashsupport + nspluginwrapper. This is suboptimal as it
does not prevent flash from crashing, it merely provides a layer of
protection to prevent Firefox from crashing with flash.

2. Flash 10 + bug #198453 configuration - libflashsupport. This
configuration allows flash sound to get routed through pulseaudio
without any crashes.

I wrote a guide on the forums to set up this second option, and nobody
has complained about Flash since. I have been using Flash 10 non-stop
and Firefox has not crashed a single time, even after extended browsing
on flash-enabled sites.

Yes, you may argue that point 2 is not attractive as flash 10 is a beta
version, but if it is the most functional solution, then I believe it
merits testing at the very least. Since intrepid already has the beta
flash plugin packaged, why don't we include it in hardy-backports?
