Version 7 is too old for most youtube videos.  They have moved on to
version 8 (or 9?), for which there is no released player.  There is a
package.masked beta version, which you can merge if you unmask it:

echo "=net-www/netscape-flash-9.0.21.78" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
emerge -u netscape-flash

Note that the beta is 32-bit only, so if you are using an amd64 arch,
you will need to merge the 32-bit mozilla-firefox-bin, and symlink
libflashplayer.so manually:

cd /opt/firefox/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/

You can then start the 32-bit firefox with /opt/firefox/firefox.

HTH,
