Here's my configuration

        root    /home/myhome;

        access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;

        location ~ \.flv$ {
            flv;
        }

        location    /default {
            alias  /home/yourhome/content;
        }

        location ~ ^/default/(.+\.flv)$ {
            alias  /home/yourhome/content/$1;
            flv;
        }

When I tried to access /default/filename.flv, it still redirect me to
/home/myhome/default/filename.flv. And it shows file not found

# nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/0.7.46

Because "/default/some.flv" will choose "\.flv$" location, but not
"/default/" one.

No, currently 0.6.x does support captures in location, and I'm not sure
if I will merged it from 0.7: there are many changes in location processing
in 0.7.
