As you may have read Mozilla has discontinued ALSA support with Firefox 52. It
is no longer included by default. Pulseaudio is the only supported sound
server under Linux now. The SeaMonkey team has decided to enable ALSA for ESR
2.49 which corresponds to ESR 52.
As a test if it still works ok it has been enabled in aurora (2.51) builds for
now. It would be great if someone can test if this still works as expected. If
pulseaudio is available it will be used. ALSA is the fallback. It is a stopgap
solution and ALSA will not be enabled for SeaMonkey beyond 2.51 (already
broken in tests sourcecode by Mozilla devs in 2.52 a week ago).
The latest build is here:

2.51a2 has known problems e.g. formhistory in Data Manager and other places is
broken. Lightweight theme support and other things are also broken but for
general browsing it should be ok. Please backup your profile before testing.
Thanks for testing.
