I have seen some messages that imply that flashplugin9 might be usable

Unstable, no sound, generally unusable state

I also thought that there might be a solution to the sound issue.

Can anyone confirm the status? I would be happy to delete the IGNORE
line if I thought it would work and I know what changes might be needed
to get it to work. Even without sound, it would probably be useful. Too
many sites are using Flash 9 for the entry page and there is no way to
get to the site at all with Flash 7.

Patches have been committed to CURRENT and should have been MFC'ed last
weekend, but haven't for some reason.

The port has a PR waiting for maintainer feedback:
