Comment (by coling):

 This is quite timely.... This problem is not restricted to
 libflashsupport, but rather quite a lot of apps, including artsd via alsa
 plugin and even paplay.

 I'm actually working on a module that will auto-load the null sink when no
 other sinks are detected such that there always exists a sink. In theory,
 when the alsa module is loaded or a usb sound device it should be detected
 by hal and load the alsa sink accordingly, this should cause the auto-
 loaded null sink to be removed and module-resucue-streams should kick in
 and move any "playing" streams to the real device....

 It's not fully debugged yet but I'm posting about it on the PA ML.
