Dunno whats wrong with your config, but for me under F8 its working
flawlessly after I updated swfdec to rawhide version (the previous
worked as well, only without audio and some videos, mostly those from
youtube but accessed from elsewhere, didn't work).

Here's what I've got (you can safely ignore the *-devel packages):
$ rpm -qa | grep swfdec
swfdec-mozilla-0.5.5-2.fc9
swfdec-gtk-0.5.5-2.fc9
swfdec-0.5.5-2.fc9

$ rpm -qa | grep gstreamer
gstreamer-0.10.15-1.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.5-12.lvn8
gstreamer-tools-0.10.15-1.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.15-1.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.6-5.lvn8
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.6-7.fc8
gstreamer-python-0.10.8-2.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-pulse-0.9.5-0.4.svn20070924.fc8
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.3-1.lvn8
gstreamer-devel-0.10.15-1.fc8
gstreamer-plugins-base-devel-0.10.15-1.fc8

Hope this helps you fix your problems. Also, I don't use the proprietary
plugin, so swfdec is the only plugin installed that can handle flash.
