Workaround: If someone really wants to use Kaffeine instead of VLC or Totem to play FLV videos (like me), it's possible to configure Kaffeine to use the GStreamer engine.

1) Install the GStreamer engine: sudo apt-get install kaffeine-gstreamer
2) Go to Settings -> Player Engine, and select Kaffeine-GStreamer.
3) Go to Settings -> GStreamer engine parameters, and set 'alsasink' as the preferred audio driver and 'xvimagesink' as the preferred video driver (if you don't configure the latter, the video appears in a separate window).
4) Restart Kaffeine.

Almost forgot, the volume bar moves to the top of the window after doing this (I don't know why, it'd be nice to work on that), you can move it to the botton again if you wish.
