 I have a strange audio/sound problem on my Xubuntu 18.04 LTS box, for
 details see https://askubuntu.com/q/1211211/181442

 The only application I am currently aware of that is unable to produce
 sound (after manually starting Pulseaudio) is Tor Browser 9.0.5.

 To test whether this is an issue of the Firefox release Tor Browser is
 based on, namely 68.5.0esr (64-bit), I downloaded that and was able to
 play audio successfully (e.g. on Youtube).

 I had a look at the Tor Logs, but they seem to only log events related to
 Tor connectivity, not browser-related events.
