no sound in firefox youtube videos (HTML5)

[Giuseppe Pagnoni]

Thank you very much: I rebuild firefox without selecting pulseaudio, and 
it works now!  It's not very clear to me why alsa and pulseaudio are 
incompatible (since you can select them both), but I am quite happy with 
the results.

very best
giuseppe
