Slight change of topic .... Or is it back to the original topic? FYI : Using Palemoon compiled from the overlay, a XonarDX sound card ( 192Khz Record/Playback, 7.1 sound capable, 8 channels ), ALSA without either PulseAudio or apulse, JACK not being used, No .asoundrc being used, I am able to watch videos and HEAR them in Palemoon. Audio with Adobe Flash works as well. ( the caveat : mplayer is compiled / mplayer.conf adjusted / nsplugin installed ) The trick .... seems to be reading the docs for ALSA in the bundled kernel source code docs. 1 : Make corrections to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf" 2 : list ALL modules for ALSA/OSS in "/etc/conf.d/modules" for loading. 3 : If using "media-sound/timidity++" do the same for its modules. I hope this information helps for those who want alternatives.
