well... i think its a political question. install a binary or not ?

if you dont want binaries. use swfdec which is the default for debian.
however i couldnt even open youtube videos. iE nothing worked. 

so i decided to install a binary from adobe.

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

this is an archive with just an .so ... put it into
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

(i am using iceweasel too)
use flashblock plugin, and its ok, because you control, which flash
components you want to see, and which not.

---------------------------------------------------------------
its even possible to add a native jack output to flash.
git clone git://repo.or.cz/libflashsupport-jack.git 

however it doesnt behave nicely when jack is not active, and it still
sometimes seems to crash.
