I had the same issue. I was playing some flash-videos in Firefox and when I switched to another, the video suddenly was about 4 times faster and it looked like it was skipping frames. There was no sound, too. While debugging the problem I tried local media files (h264, mp3, ...) and same effect. So I thought it could be gstreamer. gstreamer- properties did not run the audio-test. So I looked up my audio-settings and it turns out that for some reason the output-audio device suddenly changed from my analog-device to HDMI-device from my graphics-card. Switching back to my primary audio-device solved the problem.
