chromium no audio in some html5 videos while using pulseaudio

Hi all,

I'm having problems with some html5 videos with chromium (firefox, dwb and qupzilla works perfect)

eg. no sound from https://vine.co/v/htbdjZAPrAX (I've clicked unmute button on video) using chromium but I get sound when I run it with both dwb and qupzilla.

If I kill pulseaudio and restart chromium I get sound from these videos. (ALSA)

Any ideas?

Here's my aplay -L output:
