Adobe's flash player caches video streams in memory (and in the
past: on disk), so you can play them directly from that cache:

# see http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/dky73/
lsof -p $(pgrep -f libflashplayer) | grep /tmp/Flash |
awk '{print "/proc/" $2 "/fd/" $4}' | sed 's/[rwu]$//' |
xargs mplayer -fs
