No html5 sound in Webkitgtk, Vim-like browsers

I've been trying out a few of the above, notably Dwb but also Luakit and Uzbl in both Arch and Ubuntu on an old Dell E520 (3GB Ram, 1.87Ghz Cpu).
All work well.
However, Google Music will not load my music library in any of them.
The problem is exactly as described by this Nuvola Player bug report.
It seems the problem arises from a Gstreamer bug that upsets html5 players.
However, the suggested workaround in the bug report does not remove the problem when I try to open Google Music with Dwb browser.
Has anybody else come across this issue and perhaps knows how it can be worked around?
Or more simply, how can html5 functionality be disabled in Dwb so that Google Music is forced to use Flash.
(I'm using an up-to-date version of dwb-git with gtk2).
