Solved via a workaround. I am unsure about the problems with Firefox, but I do not use that browser anyway. I installed it while testing the problems with Chromium. See my final post below for the solution.
There are very obviously some audio configuration issues and missing codecs (maybe?) on my current install.
If I run Chromium/Chrome I have sound but no video playback. However, if I run Firefox I get video playback but no audio.
I also have compiled and installed Spotify which works fine and has audio playback. Spotify and Chromium also happily coexist while multiplexing the audio resources.
Chromium reports the following when trying to play a video:
[32:34:0524/181225:ERROR:video_layer_impl.cc(369)] Not implemented reached in virtual void cc::VideoLayerImpl::AppendQuads(cc::RenderPass*, cc::AppendQuadsData*)
Firefox does not report any errors while running.
I have an Nvidia GTX 970 and had a great deal of trouble getting the video drivers to work. I think I am using the xf86-video-fbdev driver, but am not exactly sure. How can I verify which driver is being used by X11?
I used asoundconf to configure audio. My .asoundrc and .asoundrc.asoundconf are:

I am not sure of the Firefox audio problem, but the video playback in Chromium has been reported as a bug. If you remove ~/.config/chromium then video playback will work the next time you run Chromium, but will fail again on subsequent runs. Seems like the workaround is to either checkout/compile a version prior to a recent change or running as:
chromium --disable-gpu-memory-buffer-video-frames
Can confirm this workaround. Although there is still a strange problem where only one video will play at once. Two tabs playing two videos will not work simultaneously.
First came up about a month ago on reddit.
