DRM is provided by libhal.so. Many people have used a special Hal package called halflash over a Slackware. It works with Freshplayerplugin(libpepflashplayer) and FlashPlayer-Plugin.

I have a question about the deprecated program hal. We like to stream

Do you know what specific functions of hal you need? Hal's functionality
got split between udisks/udisks2, upower, and udev some time ago. Things
like device plug state, device properties, and device capabilities are now
tracked by udev (in /run/udev) and accessed by libudev, for example. My
goal for vdev is to be compatible with udev, so if you can use udev today,
you should be able to use vdev when it's ready.

Thanks,
Jude
