[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#770659: The cause seems to be access to /dev/urandom

I added a couple of printf's in srtp to track down why the call to
srtp_init() was failing.

I tracked it down to the rand_source_init() function, specifically:
open(DEV_URANDOM, O_RDONLY)

could not open /dev/urandom : Operation not permitted

As everything works fine when the sandbox is disabled, I'd venture a
guess that the sandbox is preventing access to /dev/urandom.

I am not sure how to move forward to fix this though.

Cheers,
Jeremy
