libflashsupport conflicts with oss. Strange thing with oss.

I tried installing libflashsupport to play sound simultaneously from website and music player, but pacman says that libflashsupport conflicts with oss. Is this some sort of bug in package? And how can I make it work?
The other problem is that oss works just like alsa, what I mean is I can't listen to music and play film because sound comes from program which was run first. I installed oss just like wiki says, and choose in music/film player oss as my audio output. Also in gstreamer-properties I have set audio with oss. Anyone have similar problem, or knows how to solve it?

Re: libflashsupport conflicts with oss. Strange thing with oss.

libflashsupport.so is now shipped with oss. I sort of had the same trouble. I found out that libflashsupport.so by default uses /dev/dsp, whereas I have a multichannel sound card which uses /dev/dsp0, /dev/dsp1 etc. A soft link from /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp2 solved my problem.
I don't know if you can have sound from multiple sources if you don't have a multichannel sound card. Check oosxmix, and check where /dev/dsp is pointing.

Sorry for posting to old topic, but you have to enable vmix to hear sounds from different sources.
Either enable vmix0-enable in ossxmix or type "ossmix vmix0-enable ON" in command line.
Hope it helps someone.

Re: libflashsupport conflicts with oss. Strange thing with oss.

that's weird, which version of oss are you using?
i have
extra/libflashsupport 9.0.21.78-5
     Macromedia flash plugin support lib (OSS SS
local/oss-hg 666-2

oss-hg from aur, which in the PKGBUILD shows libflashsupport being removed so you can use the one from extra.
