Now checked on a real desktop (Asus P6T/X58/Core i7 980X/Quadro FX
1800), and all is working correctly... no, wait, sound volume cannot
be changed after fiddling with the sound control settings, no
way to set volume with any controls anymore, no way to set volume
html5 youtube video, etc. Something is broken there.
Otherwise seemingly working, performance of Youtube videos even
in 4k is decent, better than with Flash. The first firefox version
where HTML5 video stuff is implemented correctly with all functions
actually working.

So the qemu-kvm failure is specific to using a virtual machine instead
of a real one.
