Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.9-3
Severity: normal
Videos using the new html5 <video> tag such as the one on http://www.mozilla-europe.org/fr/firefox/video/ are played correctly by iceweasel 3.5.9 except there is no sound at all. The problem does not occur when playing a "flash" video through the gnash plugin or an embedded video played through the gecko-mediaplayer-plugin.
When downloading the Ogg/Theora video and playing it through a media player (such as mplayer), sound is working flawlessly.
Moreover, browsing local files with iceweasel (with file:///home/ in the address bar) and opening either an Ogg/Vorbis music file or an Ogg/Theora video shows the same problem.
This problem was identified only on the debian-ppc version of iceweasel 3.5.9, the same version installed on my debian-amd64 works correctly.
Please tell me if you need more information.
Best regards.
Jad
