    yes, it does require flash. content-wise, the lock into proprietary
    software also results in adding adverts on the video stream (sometimes
    about direct competitors, which in case of the PP might be other
    parties...)

Please don't stream my talk that way.
If you want to stream it, please use a method that lets users
watch without running nonfree software.
