I recently installed FC8 and came up with the problem while trying to play flash video ( youtube / metacafe / vidzone ) with Firefox . The problem was not playing the sound while playing the video and also no problem with sounds in mplayer, amarok or totem. the i tried to find a solution from forums and noticed that this was a common problem with many FC and Ubuntu users.
finally i came up with a solution that worked well.
1. Remove the previously installed libflashsupport
#yum remove libflashsupport
2. remove previously installed flash-plugin
#yum remove flash-plugin
3. download and install only flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release.i386.rpm from Adobe.com
# rpm -Uhv flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release.i386.rpm
thats all.
I suggest that anyone having this problem to go through this before going to solutions like alsa-oss solutions .
if this doesn't work try out this thread from fedoraforum

flash-plugin was allready installed an had to be deinstalled first:
yum remove flash-plugin
Then libflashsupport had to be put in
yum install libflashsupport
and afterwards flash-plugin had to be reinstalled
yum install flash-plugin
Now sound in firefox from flash works on two clients
Yes gerrit has the key point. I found that libflashsupport was not installed on my fedora 8 system when I tried to remove it, even though flash-plugin was. Installing the version of flash-plugin referred to by thilina's original post is irrelevant and does not fix the problem. The problem is fixed simply by yum install libflashsupport; yum install flash-plugin.
