By "silent" URI you mean one that isn't working?  Right now nothing on
youtube works, so 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwV8qNnIVfA

is not working.  I get silence for a few moments and then the repeated
noise like a cd skipping, then more silence, and then another segment
of skipping, etc.  

Going to amazon, e.g. 

http://www.amazon.com/Snakes-Arrows-Live-CD-Set/dp/B0013H8QEQ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1228736968&sr=8-3

and trying to play a sound sample gives no sound.  Once the problem
has started, no sound works from the browser, as far as I can tell.  



At one point I thought it had quit working while I was at this site,

http://sabirsisters.com/sabir_sisters/discs.php

meaning that it was working when I went there and then stopped.  I
tried to reproduce that just now  I restarted iceweasel to fix the sound and
went here and played the sounds in various ways, going back, switching
around, etc.  I played both albums simultaneously.  Nothing reproduced
the problem.  I have yet to find a way of actually causing it to
fail.
