Thank you for the suggestion.
I played some stuff in mpv and restarted qutebrowser, but no dice. Same
when I pkill'd pulseaudio, opened something in mpv, then tried
qutebrowser again. I had qutebrowser open during part of this, so I
tried again, closing qutebrowser, killing pulseaudio, opening mpv, then
finally launching qutebrowser again. I don't get any different results,
so perhaps my issue is not quite the same.
I agree that it's probably something to do with spawning pulseaudio
processes since nothing even shows up for it.
