It doesn't work with 1.0. I didn't test it enough. Maybe there is 
still the sound-bug. If so: Do you use artsd or another 
soundserver? 

I use alsa 0.9 and the mozilla-snapshot. I diabled artsd.
The flash-plugin works fine with mozilla-snapshot.
If I hear music with xmms it just stops to play sound but doesn't 
crash the browser like the flash 5 plugin.

If I stop xmms to play sound, the flashfilm starts to play sound 
and vice-versa.

The new beta Flash plugin solves the problem for me.

I'm running RH 8.0 with mozilla 1.2b/20021017

After running the install script as root, I needed to chmod the 
files for it to
work...I guess the script doesn't make sure this is correct:

chmod a+r libflashplayer.so flashplayer.xpt
chmod a+x libflashplayer.so

The new plugin seems to fix bug 63182 too. :)

I reported a deleted bug.
This bug seems resolved.

I tried www.ford.it that it didn't work but with Macromedia Flash 
Player 6 beta
it works fine.

But there are also some comments about crashes similar to your 
experience.
