Description

Attempts to play SWF files from both Internet Archive and Ruffle Web Demo fail to play audio in Firefox on Gentoo. Web Console displays no errors or warnings from Ruffle. Tested on two machines and two versions (80 and 81).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect Ruffle's audio output code for WebAssembly; test on Gentoo Linux with Firefox's audio backend. Check if the issue is related to missing audio device or context creation.
