[Bug 1365847] [NEW] Firefox audio problem with flash plugin

Public bug reported:

Xeon E5 64 bit system
Xubuntu 14.04.1
Firefox 32.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.400ubuntu0.14.04.1

Audio plays properly on this system through all media players as well as
the Chrome and Opera browsers.  However, no sound was issuing from the
Firefox 31 or 32 browsrs regardless of what video or audio source was
selected.  After considerable work and a joint investigation with a
Mozilla developer:

see:  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1062556

it was determined that the proble was with the Shockwave Flash plugin.
When this plugin was disabled, sources such as youtube would see that
flash support was unavailable and resort to HTML5 which plays audio just
fine.  However, disabling the flash plugin means that all flash content
is unavailable -- both video and audio.

This plugin interface needs to be investigated and repaired so that
audio support can be restored.
