No, you do not want to install libflashsupport for Flash 10, and indeed it 
can cause problems if you do. Flash 9 audio support had problems with 
recent linux releases such as Fedora 9, which is why libflashsupport was 
shipped with Fedora 9, since Flash 9 was the current version at that 
point. These issues are resolved in Flash 10 so libflashsupport is no 
longer necessary, and as the libflashsupport package in Fedora 9 is based 
on Flash 9 code it can cause problems when used with Flash 10.
