Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

$TEMPDIR/$TMPDIR pointed to a filesystem that became readonly due to media error

Actual results:

Firefox could not play audio through PulseAudio.
Browser tabs wanting to play audio were not marked by a little speaker icon,
so I suspected a problem with the particular web page at first.
There was no error message.

Expected results:

At minimum, little speaker icons marking webpages that play audio keep working, making it way easier to understand the root cause of the missing audio.
