There is the key right there. 32-bit. Many of those who have
annoyances with flash run 64bit. For me for example. Flash will dies
either on some pages, i.e. the new dilbert.com, or after a certain
amount of time, so if I leave my browser up for a while trying to
maintain some information that I have up and then try to go to a flash
site. suddenly flash is dead. and it doesn't just affect new pages.
It affects anything that was flash that was previously open.
Actually, on my 32-bit Fedora 8 install, flash crashes constantly. The
problem is how flash talks to alsa, which has real problems with
pulseaudio. A plugin that is supposed to help flash deal with
pulseaudio (3rd-party) helps out a lot, but has its own issues. It's a
messy situation and I wish adobe would just fix the original issue so
this kludge wouldn't be necessary. So far the main closed-source
applications that I use occasionally, flash, Skype, and Gizmo, all don't
deal well with pulseaudio even though they are supposed to be talking
Alsa. It's very annoying and all three companies are reticent to fix
the problem. This is definitely a huge downside to proprietary software.
Pray tell what is so appealing in pulseaudio that you should put up with
this crap?

right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
