Ok, this is just a mess. 32-bit users normally don't see crashes with libflashsupport installed (but some do). 64-bit users will see crashes. We need to rip out libflashsupport from intrepid's archive (source+binary) and remove it from intrepid's flashplugin-nonfree's suggests.

Wait, it gets better. Doing the above will resolve Flash-related crashers for people using PulseAudio with Flash, but it does absolutely nothing for people who want to use PulseAudio with Flash. (I don't want to ask how certain people got libflashsupport installed, but...) Remember that alsa-libs and alsa-plugins need to be backported, too, and until the entire ALSA+PulseAudio stack is upgraded to its intrepid counterpart, those users are still screwed.

In other words, PulseAudio users gain nothing with this backport until alsa-lib and alsa-plugins are also backported so that libflashsupport can be removed.

ALSA users should ensure they don't have an /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc, as using overridden definitions vastly complicates the error paths. And, of course, they shouldn't have libflashsupport installed.

64-bit users need to ensure nspluginwrapper and lib32asound2 remain installed.
