Flash player usually works fine with sound sharing in ALSA.

If it can't share the sounds device, and it is erratic as to when it
works, it seems more likely some other application isn't using ALSA, but
defaulting to some older method of playing sounds.

I dare say using judicious use of "fuser" (e.g. "fuser /dev/dsp"  and
similar) usually throws up the culprit, and you can usually go into that
applications settings and say "use ALSA".

Although most current distros have no sounds sharing issues, because
everything defaults to using ALSA. ALSA does sound sharing in software
if the sound card can't do the mixing for you.
