But if flash-plugin uses ALSA directly, then why doesn't the audio of flash-plugin.i386 work on my x86_64 machine using nspluginwrapper when alsa-oss-libs.i386 isn't installed?
Because the 32bit flash application needs to open the 32bit libaoss.so.0 ?
My mistake.
After reading the replies, I went back and tried to investigate. I expected something to show that something was using /usr/lib/libaoss.so.0 while playing flash, but was surprised to when lsof returned nothing. So I removed alsa-oss-libs.i386 and flash audio still works.
It's just that audio stopped working when I upgraded to the Beta version of flash-plugin and audio wouldn't work. I downgraded to the previous version (the release version) and audio still wouldn't work. Prior to that, I had removed some unneeded i386 packages on my system. When I installed alsa-oss-libs, audio came back so I assumed it was OSS.
I still don't know what fixed the audio for me, but it wasn't alsa-oss-libs. Sorry for the mistake. --
