I can reproduce this on 10.0.2. But Firefox Nightly seems to work for me with this specific site.

Corey, could you check a Firefox Nightly build and see if it works for you?

Comment 2

[Corey Richardson (:cmr)]

It still doesn't work with nightly. Matthew did say he was rewriting the linux backend.

Comment 3

[Chris DeCairos (:cade)]

The demo seems to work fine on nightly for me. I'm running Fedora 16.

I'll include this just in case

Comment 5

[Corey Richardson (:cmr)]

Still a no-go for me. That it works in fedora is possibly a pulseaudio thing; I do not use pulseaudio. I'll setup pulse later today and see if that helps.

Corey, would you mind testing the following build:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-4cf02efc799e/try-linux/firefox-13.0a1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2

(or http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-4cf02efc799e/try-linux64/firefox-13.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 if you usually run x86_64 builds)

Comment 7

[Corey Richardson (:cmr)]

Matthew, that x86_64 build works perfectly afaict.

Comment 8

[Matthew Gregan [:kinetik]]

Thanks, that contains the new audio backend I've been working on in bug 623444.  I'll make this bug depend on that one.

Comment 9

[Matthew Gregan [:kinetik]]

Based on comment 7, and bug 623444 being fixed, I'm marking this resolved.
