Libflashsupport and OSS4 conflict

Hi,
after many troubles i managed to work flash video in firefox with oss4.
Since with only flashplugin audio doesn't work I tried to install libflashsupport but with my great surprise pacman said me it was in conflict with oss4!
I copied by hand libflashsupport.so to /usr/lib/ and now audio works!

My question is why there is a conflict between libflashsupport and oss4?

Thanks.

libflashsupport is part of OSSv4 and has been for a long time. Why you didn't have it with OSSv4 is a mystery to me.

You are right, i installed again oss4 that has overwritten libflashsupport.so and it works.
I don't know why before it doesn't work:(

I remove /usr/lib/libflashsupport.so and install http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20322
