He is using nspluginwrapper unlike you or me. So he would need those 
32bit libraries to get sound working.

IMHO its too much pain to have multi-libs. If nothing else, it increases 
the download size of updates. 64bit flash has never given me any 
problems even though its beta. My previous experience with 32bit flash 
was not as smooth.
