Hmm. Still not a-werkin'.
youtube-dl works perfectly for downloading YouTube, but that's not why I want Flash. I
need Flash so I can finally go to people's goddamned MySpace pages and listen to their
music. And see Facebook and MySpace videos. And DailyKosTV videos. And to see bands'
and labels' websites, which too often show up as big grey squares on my browser, with
nothing in them: too many of them are Flash-only.
The Linux version of Flash always seems to be 2-3 versions behind the Windoze version. And
sites too often complain about that. So I was not going to bother with Flash at all on
Linux, just run WINE instead. I've never seen a "free flash substitute" that
actually worked, so I'm not bothering with those.
Also, it's nice to have two separate browsers: one with flash, and one without. I can
thus use firefox.exe as my Flash/MySpace/etc browser occasionally when I need it.

I've successfully gotten Firefox to run on
Wine with Adobe Flash
(presumably so that I can actually see people's websites, and listen
to their music. Sheesh.). This is on a 32-bit system.
And I use Firefox on Linux with Adobe Flash to listen to music and watch
videos. Any particular reason why you're using the Windows version for
FF via WINE?
But no sound. WineCfg seems to think that the
only drivers available
are dmix, but I don't have dmix configured, or running, and I do NOT
want dmix at all!
I've never tried to do anything involving sound with WINE, so haven't a
clue ...
