Totem browser plugin mutes sound
Last modified: 2010-05-05 16:11:47 UTC
When playing an audio stream, the Totem Browser Plugin always starts muted. Although the sound volume can be increased, after restarting the stream, it's muted again. (this problem occurs in Mozilla Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x86_64 Example stream: http://radioplayer.omroep.nl/3fm-default/asx/audioplayer.html )
My guess is that you don't use, or disabled PulseAudio, which is responsible for restoring the volume across runs.
It is a default Ubuntu install and I did not make any changes to PulseAudio (or any sound / audio system).

It's a bug in the browser plugin, which still uses the GConf volume key which we don't use anymore.
