Public bug reported:
Playing sound or video through Firefox or any media player tends to
fail. Usually it is like the software is playing the file, but no
progress is made through the file. Restarting, rebooting, and killing
processes tends to fix this problem for a little while. Sometimes a few
reboots help.
Right now I'm playing an mp3 file from NPR. It'll play for a few
seconds, then pause for several seconds, then play a few more seconds,
then pause for several seconds.
Often when I log out I hear the initial clips of the various audio or
video I tried to play during my session but never heard.
There were no issues like this at all prior to upgrading to 9.10.
