I've just shown that it *is* a codec problem on linux. Going a bit
further, the SeaMonkey linux builds disable gstreamer:

Configure arguments
...
--with-ccache=/usr/bin/ccache *--disable-gstreamer* --disable-pulseaudio
...

It is not disabled in the Firefox linux build:
Configure arguments

--enable-update-channel=release --enable-update-packaging
--with-google-api-keyfile=/builds/gapi.data --enable-crashreporter
--enable-release --enable-elf-hack --enable-stdcxx-compat
--target=i686-pc-linux --x-libraries=/usr/lib
--enable-warnings-as-errors --enable-official-branding
Probably due to this:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794282>
Enable GStreamer in official builds

I know nothing of the Mac builds, but you can check by having a look at
'about:buildconfig' (Configure arguments). Perhaps this may also be of
interest regarding Mac:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851290
Use GStreamer on Mac for H.264/MP3/AAC playback (instead of AV Foundation)
