Recently installed 16.10. All is working quite well, with the exception of videos playing 10x+.
Whether it be in Firefox or Chrome, Facebook or Youtube, all videos are playing extremely fast.
I have currently on kernel 4.9, but reverted back to 4.8 and the problem still exists.
I have no idea where to start on this one and searching doesn't bring up anything current.

I have recently had the same problem for no readily apparent reason. I found a YouTube video which solved it - yes, I had to use pause a lot because it was playing too fast!
I had been using my laptop with an external monitor via HDMI and so switched the sound output to HDMI. When I got the problem I was not using the external monitor. The fix was to change my Sound Settings back to 'Speakers - Built-in Audio'. The problem was fixed immediately.
I am using Ubuntu 16.04.
