LightSpark isn't fully an "alternative" to Gnash - well, not yet
anyways. I mean, you can install LightSpark along with Gnash, and your
system can fallback to Gnash if you come across a flash object that
LightSpark can't handle.

As for DailyMotion, you should just use the HTML5 player instead (just
like you should for youtube).
