Greetings,

Is anyone else having sound failure in Firefox? The control panel test
is fine.

I've tried several versions: esr and not; with and without clang;
firefox-bin;
140.3.1 and 140.4.0. Also with and without several add-ons including
uBlock
origin and ghostery.

The web has many tales of woe but few cures.

Since pulseaudio appeared, sound in firefox become just a nightmare.
Each time I upgrade the package compiling from sources, I don't know
what will be broken after that.

Sinceresly, pulseaudio should be dropped from gentoo... dropped far far
far far far far away, and if you could, even far since it's the source
of a lot of headaches.


I have good news for you: there is a USE flag (for firefox, even!) and
you are welcome to disable it. This is much more than you can do on
other distros.

Kindly extend others the same courtesy of being able to enable it.
Gentoo itself doesn't take sides. Calling for its global removal from
Gentoo is:

- offensive
- a waste of breath, nobody with power is listening to you
- pointless, since it does not help you in any way


I have it disabled long ago. And I told this because almost all troubles comes from pulseaudio side. You don't like my answer??? is my opinion and I will not change it because of you. You don't like what I told about pulseaudio is a headache?? it is your problem. Was firefox long time ago who decided dropping alsa support forcing us use alternatives to pulseaudio to be able to use audio. Did you scream against that??
