[Bug 1032493] [NEW] Play of Youtube videos yields white noise or loud static instead of the audio track.

[Ron Mitchell]

Public bug reported:

Was attempting to play the Youtube video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noDAsZjvmSA

Instead of the sound track, there was loud static resembling white noise
for the entire duration of the video.

The same video played normally on another Lubuntu 12.10 installation I
have here, as a Virtual Box guest on my MacBook.

On my eMac, where the problem occurs, sound is working ok for playing
audio CD's with Audacious and also with Gnome Mplayer.
