Bug description:
[Test case]
Load the browser on 16.10 in either a U8 or U7 session.
Browse to YouTube.
Play a video.
Notice there is no sound. Nor does the browser show in the sound menu/panel.
TLDR: this is an apparmor confinement issue: on yakkety pulse audio
needs write access to /{run,dev}/shm/pulse-shm*, which is being denied
by the audio and microphone policy groups. The fix consists in
punching an additional hole in the generated apparmor profile for
webbrowser-app.
[Regression potential]
Low. As the fix consists in weakening the apparmor profile for
webbrowser-app, the only concerns should be security-related. The change was
ack’d by Jamie Strandboge (see comment #11 in this bug report).
It is not anticipated that this change would make the browser’s functionality
regress.
