Firefox and Chrome play two frames of video, then stop

[osresearch]

Qubes OS version:

R3.2

Affected TemplateVMs:

fedora-23, anon-whonix

---

Expected behavior:

Firefox and Chrome will play video and audio on youtube, twitter, etc.

Actual behavior:

The first frame is displayed, sometimes the second one as well, then the video freezes. On youtube the video seeks fine; I can click elsewhere on the timeline and the new frame will display, but then freeze. It's not a network buffering issue -- the gray "loaded" progress bar continues to show that the rest of the video has been loaded.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Start Firefox or chrome in an appvm, click on any youtube video.

General notes:

Reproduced on an x230 and Chromebook, both with integrated i915 graphics.
