Re: [DNG] firefox-esr: no sound after dist-upgrade
I know this thread is three months old and the bugs with FF60 have been addressed, but I thought it might be useful to add that apulse is a fine working solution, especially for users averse (as I am) to PulseAudio. The instructions at https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/09/msg00263.html are probably necessary for Firefox, and if you don't want to run whatever Mozilla-based browser with the command apulse *, you can run patchelf on the libxul.so in question with either --set-rpath /usr/lib/apulse libxul.so or --set-rpath /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/apulse libxul.so gl ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Thursday, September 13, 2018 10:48 PM, Dr. Nikolaus Klepp wrote: > Am Donnerstag, 13.

Suggestion: add apulse to firefox and firefox-esr's Suggests. Would this require a re-packaging?

I have not tried it yet though. No, I didn't, but I can imagine that. I don't use firefox since quite a while and have no need for pulseaudio, so my system wasn't affected. I've read about apulse on this list and just pointed to the references in case that might help.
