Package: firefox
Version: 60.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
mozilla decided to depreciate ALSA in favour of PULSE. The most up to date
firefox package in debian is PULSE only which leads to no sound issue on pure
ALSA systems.
i do not know your opinion regarding OSS/ALSA/PULSE. but i know that some
people are still running pure ALSA systems as it is more stable than PULSE.
please consider including a new firefox package compiled with ALSA support.
package name proposal: firefox-alsa
Gentoo ebuild citation:
...
# force the deprecated alsa sound code if pulseaudio is disabled
if use kernel_linux && ! use pulseaudio ; then
mozconfig_annotate '-pulseaudio' --enable-alsa
fi
