Adobe released Flash Player 9 for Linux today. (I know, it's not

Do we expect OpenBSD to support Flash 9 in the near future? The old
Flash 7 plugin (there was no Flash 8 for Linux) could be run with
Linux binary emulation, but the emulator only mentions support for
the OSS audio API
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=compat_linux
and the new Flash Player uses the ALSA API

Are there active efforts to get this working on OpenBSD?
Seeing the hardline the devs take against driver binary blobs it's
unlikely. However, I am looking forward myself to 4.1, because Gnash
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/> has been added to ports and upon
release it will become a package too.
