1 Also, if flash didn't work previously, that's because it was not using
2 PA (or alsa default device), it was hardcoded to use alsa device hw0,
3 so they "forcefully" used to use ALSA. Since PA has control over the
4 sound device (since PA is the mixer, not ALSA), flash couldn't use it,
5 thus no sound.

7 I reaffirm, you should use all 4 blocks of configuration in your
8 asound.conf. It will "create" the PA virtual device and also set it as
9 default for the system. This way, ALSA software will output to PA too.
