Web APIs for audio are under active development. The W3C has formed a working group where use cases and two specifications (Web Audio API and MediaStream Processing API) are being developed. Chrome and Safari are shipping experimental versions of the Web Audio API now, and Firefox will soon be shipping experimental versions of the MediaStream Processing API (it's available now in a special build). Firefox 4 onwards also includes the simpler Audio Data API. I believe all of these APIs provide sufficient functionality to build the audio portions of media playback with working audio-visual synchronization.

Implementations for Chrome and Firefox are bug 72754 and bug 633602, respectively.

ANGLE[0] goes some way to solving that.

Firefox does this by default, but its built-in update mechanism is disabled in Ubuntu-shipped versions in favour of Ubuntu's package management.

Open about:memory and see where the memory is going. And if you think the use is excessive, please file a bug including the about:memory data and any details you know that would aid in reproducing the problem.
