Dear community
Sometimes Firefox stops playing audio in Html5 video files. Video itself is still there, only the sound is missing. This problem started occuring in Firefox 36 when I completly uninstalled the flash plugin. Now I use Firefox in Version 37.0.1 and the issue is still there. All other programs play sound as expected.
The interesting thing is that the sound disappearence is quite random. It never occurs while actually playing something but it can happen just by skipping a few minutes in the playback. Also, the sound reappears after a while (system reboot is the quickest option, but pure waiting is also possible). I even do not have to restart Firefox, but I have to reload the video file.
Any ideas what could be the reason for this odd behaviour?

Hello,
Which sound library do you use ?

I use Alsa (packages alsa-lib and alsa-utils) as well as GStreamer (both versions 0.10 and 1.4). No pulseaudio packages are installed.
