Everything worked perfectly fine before, but just seemed to have stopped for some reason. Firefox didn't even update, just rebooted to find that sound was crippled for some reason, and I'm at a loss for the cause. I saw this thread, but I already had that package installed. I also tried installing Firefox nightly builds from a ppa (flash sucks in the regular release, but the video is fine in Nightly) but it too doesn't seem to want to play any sound for me.
Minitube will also play videos, but sound is absent. If I download the video, VLC can open it just fine from the GUI, but not from the console.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, or links to some novel solution I may have missed. I've tried exercising my google-fu, but so far it's failed me. Thanks.
