Support for pulseaudio via libflashsupport is no longer required in
Flash 10. Flash 10 works very well with the libasound2 pulse plugin and
that is upstream’s recommended way to integrate applications that don’t
provide “native” pulseaudio support.  This obsoletes libflashsupport
entirely (from a pulesaudio perspective) and the pulseuaudio fork is
very likely to die off upstream, which is why I decided not to do
another upload after ftpmasters rejected it.

So in other words, when using flash with pulse just use Flash 10 and
forget about libflashsupport.
