Possibly a regression of  Bug 537195.
When any wav file is attempted to be played from any add-on (IE pop-up sounds, or pronounce) a javascript error appears at console:

Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsISound.play]
Source file: chrome://pronounce/content/overlay.js
Line: 20
(attempt to use pronounce add-on, file with JS code is attached)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select any word
2. click on the Pronounce add-on buton
3. 'Nothing happens' but an error that can be seen at console.
Actual Results:  
Silence

Expected Results:  
Sound played

Happens with any wav file from any add-on like FEBE, Pronounce, pop-up sound, ....

Had Namoroka uninstalled, installed Firefox 3.5 and sound came back. Using 3.5, upgraded via upgrade packages on Synaptic and, sound files cannot be played.

Can you still reproduce this bug in Firefox 6?

Please update to Firefox 6 or later, update your plugins, and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated version of Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.
