I can't reproduce this issue with today's Nightly on Ubuntu. Can you still reproduce? Did you interact with the page before the video loaded, e.g. accept the cookie banner? In this case it is expected that the audio is played.
This is probably not site-permission related so I'm moving it to Audio/Video.

I can't reproduce this bug as well. Please check this wiki to ensure that you don't interact wit the page, because the default blocking policy would only block autoplay before users interact with web pages.

Free feel to reopen this bug if you think it still exists. Thanks.

The user does need to interact with the page by accepting the cookies. This being said, I agree with the bug's resolution.
