Using Adobe Flash plugin in Linux 64 bit

Install Flash Plugin

If using a recent version of Ubuntu or Debian, install the flashplugin-nonfree package and issue the command
```
# update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
```
this will install the 64bit version of the plugin
otherwise, go download the square version from Adobe Labs Square page, unpack it, and copy libflashplugin.so in .mozilla/plugins in your home directory

Let Flash Plugin use pulseaudio

Warning, according to some sources, what follows is obsolete, newer flash versions natively interact with libalsa so that pulseaudio is correctly used if present

install the packages libpulse-dev libssl-dev
download and save flashsupport.c (it comes from http://git.0pointer.de/repos/libflashsupport.git)

compile it with

# cc -shared -O2 -fPIC -Wall -Werror lpulse -lssl flashsupport.c -o libflashsupport.so

# sudo cp libflashsupport.so  /usr/local/lib/

```
# sudo ldconfig
```
