The sake of completeness, I think it's worth mentionning that when using nspluginwrapper, it is theorically possible to run the Flash plugin (and other ones too) inside QEMU. I've read this on nspluginwrapper author's website [1]: this trick is used to execute binary plugins for i386 on other platforms but this could obviously work for our problem. Unfortunately, I've never seen any documentation or instruction to set up this. I've Cc'ed the author, in case he has some time to provide additional details.
