Is another possibility to somehow have the plugin go through aoss when it plugs itself in? I don't think this is possible because aoss uses an LD_PRELOAD hack and that can only be done at startup when all shared libraries are loaded. There's an open feature request for Firefox to run plugins in a separate process, the main advantage of which is that you can prevent them from sucking 100% of your CPU, it would also allow this. Since we have many reports that aoss works well with Flash, I think the best solution is to ask the distros which use ALSA by default (all of them now I think) to make /usr/bin/firefox or whatever a wrapper around aoss firefox.
