Hi I'm hit by this bug as well in version 17.0.6esr-1 of iceweasel. The problem for me is that I cannot easily go without an asound configuration since audio is forwarded to a receiver via optical S/PDIF:
$ cat /etc/asound.conf # default to optical/digital pcm.!default iec958 If I comment out the line above to have audio passed to the system default (analog out), then html5 audio works just fine. This leads me to believe the problem is somewhere in iceweasel/firefox audio source code since all other applications are able to conform to the system-wide asound.conf above. That, or the way I'm configuring alsa to default to optical out may be wrong. The alsa wiki mentions asound.conf should not be necessary, but I'm not sure how else to tell the system to default to a different output attached to the same audio chip: from http://alsa.opensrc.org/.asoundrc Neither .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf is normally required. You should be able to play and record sound without either (assuming your mic and speakers are hooked up properly). If your system won't work without one, and you are running the most current version of ALSA, you probably should file a bug report. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
