Comment (by perceptron):

 Of course
 switching security.sandbox.content.level to 0 didn't change anything.

 separately switched media.cubeb.sandbox to false
 And now warning with cubeb look like this:


 {{{
 [Child 22393, MediaPlayback #2] WARNING: 7f6508698120 Can't get cubeb
 context!: file /var/tmp/build/firefox-
 5e83d0a74e4d/dom/media/AudioStream.cpp, line 351
 [Child 22393, MediaPlayback #2] WARNING: Decoder=7f65053acc00
 [OnMediaSinkAudioError]: file /var/tmp/build/firefox-
 5e83d0a74e4d/dom/media/MediaDecoderStateMachine.cpp, line 3639

 }}}
 Also in Tor-browser on youtube.com page (which I use for testing purposes)
 now claims that Pulseaudio isn't installed(browser shows popup message)

 It is like because of sandboxing Browser is unable to detect/communicate
 with Pulseaudio.
