There's a Bug filed about an issue like that.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698079

Needs to be confirmed as to whether it is just a Flash problem (with plugins) or if that happens with audio played directly thru Firefox, not using a plugin.

Is it possible to let the developers know about this problem? Anyone?
