A minor change in the UA string override we send for m.youtube.com does
the trick: the "Chromium" token needs to be changed to "Chrome". I.e.
the new override rule becomes:

    [/^https?:\/\/m\.youtube\.com\//, "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu 14.04
like Android 4.4;) AppleWebKit/537.36 Chrome/35.0.1870.2 Mobile
Safari/537.36"]

Bug description:
  This seems to be a fairly recent regression, most likely due to a
  server-side change on m.youtube.com.

  On mobile devices (reproducible both on a Nexus 7 running vivid-
  proposed and a krillin running 14.09-proposed), playing a youtube
  video plays back audio only, not video.
