That freeze is an unfixable race condition that Flash has when shutting down audio.

See the explanation down on http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/267

I thought the whole point was that by adding async code to ioplug, the libflashsupport stuff wasn't needed and flash could just use it's native alsa support + alsa's pulse plugin.... or am I missing the point here?

The destruction dead lock issue is present both in libflashsupport and the native ALSA backend. It's just that it is almost never triggered if a hw device is used.

Adobe released the sources of libflashsupport where you can actually check this.
