Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
I have this problem, where audio sound in Firefox just stops working, it
cuts off randomly. It's hard for me to replicate, because I usually have
Firefox open for extended periods of time, like at least 10+ hours, but
this morning I awoke and I played a video on Youtube and the sound cut
out immediately in real time. So I went to Log Viewer and saw some
corresponding errors at the exact time that sound kicked off. I mad a
quick bug log, in case I had time to file later, this is what I
documented :

The sound stopped at exactly 07:37 in the morning only thing I did was
go to the computer and play a youtube video. I lowered the youtube
volume SWF player. Mind you the computer had been on all night.
Actually, moments later I discovered that the sound doesnt work with mp3
streaming volumes (perhaps more??), but I went to the Internet Archive
and happen to click on a streamable OGG and it played just fine. This is
around the 4th time this has happened and its random occurrence. The
solution is usually to restart Firefox.

(I dont know if it's of any use, but there is a similarly reported bug
by another user saying his Adobe flash sound stops working in Firefox
when he suspends his computer. This does not affect me, in this manner)
