Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Alsa IceCat

[Damien Zammit]

I got JACK support for IceCat merged into Fedora.
Jack support is already in Firefox, just add --enable-jack at compile 
time to the mozconfig.


This might be better than using ALSA since ALSA will block the sound 
card for other audio apps.

Hi

Alsa sound works fine to me with Gnuzilla IceCat 52.3.0 I have built on a
updated Devuan GNU+Linux Jessie 1.0 amd64 machine using the procedure I have
detailed here:

https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:IceCat/Compile_and_package/build_52.3.0_on_devuan_(debian)_jessie_1.0

As you can see looking inside the configuration parameters here:

https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:IceCat/Compile_and_package/build_52.3.0_on_devuan_(debian)_jessie_1.0#Set_the_configuration_parameters_.28file:_src.2Fmozconfig.29

I have explicity enabled alsa support and disabled pulseaudio.

Regards

I am using the stand alone IceCat version 52.3.0 (64-bit), downloaded 
from a GNU repository. I have since I posted last, found a number of 
posts regarding Alsa support being taken out of Firefox (and I assume 
IceCat???). Here is what I did to get Alsa to work:


I added this line to my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/devuan experimental main

then ran

apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install apulse

Remember to comment out the repository and run apt-get update again 
after the fact.


As I am running i3wm as my only window manager, I just added "apulse" in 
front of what I already have in my config file, so it now looks like this:

bindsym $mod+b exec apulse ~/bin/icecat/icecat

Everything works fine so far...

[Bug-gnuzilla] Alsa IceCat

[Brian Durant]

I just installed IceCat on a new computer with a vanilla Devuan minimum 
i3wm install. IceCat works fine, except that no sound is available. I am 
using Alsa for sound at this point. Please advise as to how to get 
IceCat to work with Alsa. I have confirmed that my sound card works, so 
I know that the problem doesn't lie there.
