Thank you for addressing this bug.

Regarding your questions:

-Are you always able to reproduce this?

Yes. Everytime the video pop-up launches it's video plays great, no sound.

A fellow Ubuntu user I know personally tried the recommendations at the following link:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1024820

and the video worked, but the sound was choppy, and lagged a couple seconds behind.

 I have tried other Synaptic Package Manager permutations from a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04, full updating via Update Manager, and with/without Medibuntu repository packages (all packages listed were clicked, and all default recommendations to uninstall/install packages were accepted as presented):

1) Fresh install, full updates only.

No video, no sound.

2) Fresh install, full updates.

mozilla-plugin-vlc

Plays video but no sound.

3) fresh install, full updates, Medibuntu repository addition, Medibuntu updates.

mozilla-mplayer
w32codecs
non-free-codecs

Plays video but no sound.

4) fresh install, full updates, Medibuntu repository addition, Medibuntu updates.

gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
non-free-codecs
ubuntu-restricted-extras

Plays video but no sound.

Attached is a screenshot of the same setup I bugged about.
