Description

Our SoundManager fallback isn't working on Ubuntu/Firefox. Ubuntu FF doesn't have the same HTML5 media support, so it should use Flash, but the Flash fallback is failing.

This might be replicable in Opera/Mac, which also fails (and may be the same reason, or not..)

Research direction

Start by inspecting the SoundManager fallback entry point and reproducing talk-through playback in Ubuntu/Firefox, then compare the reported Opera/Mac behavior. Done means talk-throughs play reliably when HTML5 media support is unavailable and the Flash fallback is used.
