I think it uses pulse though the alsa plugin. Anyway, opening pavucontrol
should show flash playing, but this was not happening in rhel6.

Currently, I am using the flash 64 bits from adobe, but I have tried the
one from redhat
with the same results.

All my computers were upgraded to alsa-lib 1.0.24, but the ones with rhel6
presented
this problem. It was very annoying. When I switched back to alsa-lib 1.0.22
from redhat, I finally could use flash again concomitantly with other sound
applications.
