Very quickly, I'll summarise what I told Alexander and Luke some time
ago:
The most recent upload to jaunty of flashplugin-nonfree (to use
nspluginwrapper for both i386 and amd64) has one important regression-
related ramification for amd64: nspluginwrapper depends on ia32-libs,
which currently conflicts with lib32asound2-plugins. This change means
that PulseAudio users - i.e., all default Ubuntu 9.04 users - will have
nondeterministically inaudible sound due to a race between the user's
pulseaudio daemon and the Flash plugin attempting to use the hw: and
default: virtual ALSA devices, respectively. In essence, this is a
regression to hardy's release.
To fix the above symptom, three things need to be done:
1) pulseaudio needs to build 32-bit libs on 64-bit arches (similar to what
alsa-lib does);
2) alsa-plugins needs to build 32-bit pulseaudio alsa-lib plugins based on (1);
3) ia32-libs needs to stop building 32-bit alsa-lib plugins and instead simply
depend on (instead of conflicting with) lib32asound2-plugins.
Obviously, the appropriate versioned conflicts across all packages
should be added.
** Also affects: ia32-libs (Ubuntu)
