I have never seen that. In all instances where flash crashed on me, firefox was still responsive and fully functional except for the gray boxes where flash content was supposed to be(but there might have been more than one bug that got condensed into this one). There are other reasons seperate from this bug for using nspluginwrapper or something like it on 32-bit, namely that flash can run in a seperate process and therefore utilize a different core, which is very handy when flash is eating 100% cpu on something and you want to still browse the web.

Couldn't disagree more. We have a valid work around for 99% of users. A LTS system is not a system that never gets updated -- this simply remains a high priority bug until the Right Fix (tm) comes out. Besides, removing pulse audio at this late stage of the game is going to introduce way more breakage than leaving it as is.
