This might not be relevant, but playing music from flash was a particular
problem also with the original pulseaudio over network protocol.

However there was a workoround:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/122148/flash-in-browsers-does-not-play-sound-accurately-using-pulse-network-audio

In the first answer here the culprit is pointed out to be: "that Flash is
somehow sending the sound to PulseAudio in such a way that it creates a lot of
network traffic (think lots of tiny packets, not bandwidth); this overwhelms
the network "tunnel" PulseAudio has created"

the workaround was the to "cut out the middle man" by disabling discovering of
airtune devices and just starting the web browser like this:

PULSE_SERVER=192.168.0.4:4713 firefox &

I havent been able to test this with Hajime's RAOP module though.

Taking a quick look at wireshark I can se that a lots of tiny packets is not
the problem at least not here. And the bandwith is about the same ca 180kbit/s
with flash as with working aplications. 

The only diference I can se is that the Flash aplication is sending music
packets over the network even when it is paused.

Hope this information can be useful in someway.
