As a follow-up to my previous comment I'm pleased to note that the issue
for me is fixed with any or all of the following (I'm not sure what
exactly fixed):

linux 3.9
alsa-base 1.0.25+3
alsa-utils 1.0.27.1-1

With the above, not only does iceweasel play sound for html5 videos, but
an asound.conf file is no longer required to get sound to default to
optical S/PDIF. Thanks to upstream and thanks to debian for fixing both
of these problems for me at least :)
