Description:
Firefox isn't able to open a "Firefox Hello" conversation without freezing/crashing. This also affects other WebRTS-based video conference tools like appear.in At least appear.in worked some versions ago. I'm not sure if this is an upstream bug or Arch-related. Please inform me when I should create an upstream report. It would be helpful if someone else could reproduce this.



Additional info:
* Firefox 36.0-1
* Pulseaudio 6.0-1


Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on the "Firefox Hello"-Button
2. Click "Get started"
3. Click "Start a conversation"
4. Firefox hangs or crashes

The bug also appears when using the upstream versions from the Mozilla website: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/
It currently occurs when using the following version:
Release (36.0.1)
Beta (37.0b5)

It does NOT occur using the developer edition (38.0a2)

I'm also able to reduce it to the following simple command (using the JS console):
`navigator.mozGetUserMedia({video:false, audio:true}, function(){}, function(){});`
(Crash/Freeze happens after confirming that the MIC can be used.)
