Sound for me is working just fine in general. I can listen to music and 
watch movies using rhythmbox, quod-libet (btw this app is awesome I 
don't use it often only because it lacks support for the play/pause 
buttons on multimedia keyboards), mplayer, vlc, totem ... I could go on.

I get no sound *only* when I am watching streams from www.wrc.com. So I 
think this has something to do with the gecko-mediaplayer/mplayer 
support for certain codecs.

Thanks for the reply though.
