An ideal solution would be to modify libflashsupport to directly output 
sound to esd.  Then you could package /usr/lib/libflashsupport.so in an 
RPM called something like esd-libflashsupport.  LTSP users could install 
that, and it would then work out of the box without temporary hacks like 
this.

Looks like this guy implemented esd and pulseaudio support for 
libflashsupport.

Get this packaged and into Fedora?
