I can hear the audio intermittently, but the console is spewing lots of
exceptions. Unfortunately, these are all in the applet's code, and the
plugin can't really do much to remedy that:

[Message]: Pad: a_queue:src [com.fluendo.plugin.Queue$1 at 169c398] type:
STREAM_STATUS, start, reason: ok, activating
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1
        at com.fluendo.jheora.Decode.ExtractToken(Decode.java:431)
        at com.fluendo.jheora.Decode.unpackAndExpandToken(Decode.java:442)
...
...

Try starting firefox with the environment variable ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true

It will show lots of debug info. If you can post that info, and the
/tmp/java.std{err,out} files (created when ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true),
that'd be very helpful in tracing the issue. Again though, if the issue
on your end happens to be the same as what I am seeing, there is really
nothing I can do -- only the authors of the applet code can remedy that :/
