I've been messing around with the Web Audio API lately and the message Firefox leaves is that it will still work as long as the user initiates the sounds loading, not the page. So if the user opens your chat or maybe interacts with your page in a way that indicates they've given you permission to play sounds then you're good.

That is a bit annoying for my usecase (playing a sound whenever a team scores a goal) where the users enable it manually but it is remembered with a cookie. Right now we just do not remember their sound preferences in Safari, which just like Firefox requires user interaction. So some responsible users are affected by this change, but it is also a necessary change due to too many abusers. This is why we cannot have nice things.
