I just looked at the release notes, and it's really quite unclear.  



"If you are using Flash 10, you do not need libflashsupport anymore as
the usage of ALSA has been fixed in this version. 

"Users of Fedora x86_64 must install the nspluginwrapper.i386 package to
enable the 32-bit Adobe Flash Player plug-in in Firefox, and the
libflashsupport.i386 package to enable sound from the plugin."
^^^^^^^^

So, is it needed or not?  


According to a brief test I made yesterday, it may not be.  
I removed libflashsupport with yum remove on a 64 bit install and sound
was fine.
