Sound doesn't work in the official Ustream Android app either for 
the Dconf stream, as I noted.  My guess would be that the HTML5 
player and the Android app try to use whatever audio codecs are 
built into Android, instead of the app using its own codecs, and 
the codec chosen by the Dconf livestream is not normally 
supported on Android for whatever reason.
