So you might have heard of the new GNU Gnash Flash player from GNU.org. While still in it's infancy, it's the first non-Macromedia stand alone flash player available. Here is an article walking you through installing Gnash on Linux. It's geared toward Mandriva, but can be used by anyone to compile Gnash from source.

You can't avoid OSS; these guys are writing a portable program so OSS support is very welcome. It's supported in a wide range of platforms, including those using Linux 2.6 and earlier. ALSA supports OSS emulation.
If you'd like native ALSA support you can contribute it. But this project has a lot more important code to write, and until someone steps up ALSA support won't happen. I assume it's not a high priority at this point.

But come on, let's try to avoid lowest-common-denominator approaches. OSS sucks, period. It may be cross-platform, but so is ANSI C and you can't do a whole lot interesting with that.
