Getting flash w/audio to work on NetBSD was an unpleasant chore. First, you try the firefox-bin-flash package which sort of works but crashes incessantly. You then use pkgsrc to build a native firefox binary and install nspluginwrapper and flash works but there’s no sound. After installing xmms and finding a sample mp3, you’ve verified your sound card’s okay so it’s time to start poking at libflashplayer.so. Several ktrace -dip XXXXX commands later and you’re trying to figure out how to get libasound.so installed so ALSA will work. When this doesn’t work, you dink around on google a bit and end up at the right Ubuntu (maybe it was Debian) forum where they talk about libflashsupport. You install it from pkgsrc, sound finally works and your two year-old can watch backyardigans songs on youtube.

It’s easy to see why BSD tutorials in flash are somewhat unique.
