Check the FESCo logs... general reasoning is that it existed solely
as a crutch for third-party software, IIRC.

And I'm sure the people who came up with that idea made sure to nicely
ask Adobe to make their Flash plugins depend on it. Or explained to them
what that tool did so they can fix their software.

Adobe Flash 10 doesn't need libflashsupport anymore to work fine on
ALSA ioplug-based backends such as pulse.

Presumably it's still needed for SSL and V4L though.

Flash comes internally with support for SSL, V4L and ALSA. The only
reason I hacked up libflashsupport is to add PulseAudio support. I
never touched the SSL/V4L part of libflashsupport however. And for
Flash 10 we don't need specific Pulse support anymore, since they
fixed the way they are using the ALSA API. And hence we don't need
libflashsupport at all anymore, and let Flash use SSL, V4L and ALSA
directly again.

Empirically I installed flash in a F-9 fresh install and had no sound
in flash. I then installed libflashsupport, and got sound. The user
mailing list is similarly full of similar discussions.

Current version of Flash 10 doesn't work with Firefox under linux.
