It seems a bit odd that libflashplayer.so does not have execute
permissions; I'd try chmodding it 555 and see if that changes anything.

The next best guess, as others have suggested, is that some other
process has the audio device open.  What does "ps -ax" say immediately
after you fail to hear sound from your flash video?
