Adobe peels off Flash layers for open source

I occasionally play a goofy little Flash MMO called Dofus. They provide download and install instructions for both Windows and Linux/MacOSX. The Windows version is a standalone executable (or 'projector' as they call it), and the other versions open in a fullscreen browser Window and the OS' native Flash plugin.
Thing is, it's dog slow using the native Linux Flash player. So to get any real speed out of it, I run the Windows version under Wine. It's sad, but true. It's much faster to run itemulated than native.

is any of this going to make flash play nicely in full screen on my TV?
Today, playing flash full screen on my 1920x1080P screen means that I get dropped frames and jerky motion unless I set the quality to low.
That's not actually so bad -- I can compensate in both X and on my TV for the loss of anti-aliasing, but flash gives no way to default to low, so I have to manually reset the quality when I want to watch Hulu or somesuch.
So far, Adobe seems willing to open up bits and pieces, but not provide the means for a satisfying flash experience in some increasingly common use scenarios.
Gosh -- sounds an awful lot like a Xerox printer that bugged RMS lo those many years ago.
