What is the obstruction in this cleanout interior drainpipe?

I have a drain that backs up after the water is run for about a
minute. I ran a snake as far down the pipe as it would go, but couldn't
find the clog. I got under the floor and found a cleanout access for
that pipe. I opened the cap, looked inside, and saw that there was
something that looked like an internal flap that I guess is supposed
to direct water towards the drain and away from the cleanout cap. I
poked at it, and it appears to be made out of some sort of foam-like
material, as it gave a little when I pushed against it.

But what goos is a cleanout access if you cant get into the pipe to clean it out???

Am I just supposed to tear that thing out of there, or what?

The SaveFile link is pretty sad. You would be better served posting
Photobucket or Picasa links that don't want you to buy a subscription,
and in fact work quite well.
