I am no Pulseaudio expert. Maybe Pulseaudio can be tweaked. Just watch pavumeter when playing Youtube-videos and Soundcloud-clips. Maybe you can see the different channel routing.
I see what you might mean although in this case firefox does not even go to pavucontrol (I do not currently have pavumeter installed) :

When firefox plays something from youtube:

When firefox plays something from soundcloud:

I'm only commenting as I haven't got the chance to do anything about this yet.
I see a difference on my system. When playing youtube I have the "AudioIPC Server", when playing Soundcloud I have the "AudioCallbackDriver" on pavucontrol.

pavumeter is handy, though, as it shows the number of used channels and the signals in them.
