[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#848029: chromium: sound and video on youtube broken

[Christopher Mark]

Package: chromium
Followup-For: Bug #848029

Dear Maintainer,

Also having this problem on 55.0.2883.75-1~deb8u1, sound is just crackles on youtube and video playback is fastforwarded.
This looks very similiar to the a H.264 bug on the Ubuntu package.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1650730

This leaves me stuck because I lose sound and media playback on the browser if I upgrade to 55.0.2883.75-1~deb8u1 but as per bug #844631 many sites such as amazon do not work on 53.0.2785.89-1~deb8u1
Thanks
