[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#665440: chromium-browser: No audio will play again if an audio file plays to completion

[Andrew Chant]

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 17.0.963.78~r125577-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
 After letting an audio file (both .mp3 and .wav tested) play to completion,
chromium will no longer play any audio, and no progress will be shown on the
song progress bar.

Example: navigate to
http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/tone/files/250Hz_44100Hz_16bit_05sec.wav

let the tone play to the end of 5 seconds, then click "play" to get it to 
play again.  Nothing will happen.  There is identical behaviour with mp3s.

This is *not* repeatable on the Chromium project continuous builds.
I tried the continous build at revision 125587 (closest avail to 125577) at
 http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html?path=Linux_x64/125587/ 
and it worked fine.  (Note: the continous build won't play .mp3s, just wavs).

Note that I have alsa installed and not pulseaudio.
