This was solved by installing alsa-oss.  My first attempt only installed
the 64 bit, plus the libs which it pulled in as a dependency.  Then,
doing a search, the only i386 packages I found were the alsa-oss-devel
and alsa-oss-libs.  I installed them as well, and flash now works as it
should in all DE's and WM's.  

I'm guessing that it might be a pulseaudio thing, where perhaps Gnome
properly configures it and other things don't.  However, that's only a
guess.
