Bug 1449594 worked around an issue with sandboxing by flipping the media.cubeb.sandbox pref, but bug 1450740 should have fixed the underlying issue and the patch has been uplifted to beta, so it should be safe to revert the pref flip.

Setting media.cubeb.sandbox to false does two things, neither of which are good:

1. Makes content processes use audio libraries directly instead of via the parent process; this is no longer the default on 60, isn't being tested, and might regress without being noticed.

2. As a side-effect, turns off the sandboxing improvements that are shipping in 60.
