I got it to work, too. Just sound, also.
My system:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+
Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 (64-bit)
I did this instead:
cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
sudo ln -s ../../flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
This is exciting for me, as this is the only thing keeping me from
using Chromium for all my browsing needs.
