1 Hi Daniel!
2
3 I'll try all of your suggestions below after I read them over carefully,
4 as I'm confident again there must be a way to fix audio in FF without
5 pulse...

16 Just in the meantime, a (hopefully) easier question: doesn't this bug
17 below mean harder to get non-pulse audio to work with Firefox:

24 and if the other info that the dev at alsa-user gave me:
25 http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@×××××××××××××××××.net/msg31929.html
26 where he gave the link to:
27 html5 in ff through jack
28 http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2016-June/105188.html
29
30 if that means the info in that bug page is incomplte in the sense it is
31 misleading to users who want to stick with sans-pulse alsa... then once
32 I figure out how to do it, I'll post there for other users to know...
33
34 (And is that "html5 in ff through jack" the news that's missing for
35 people who are being misled on that Mozilla Dev page?)
36 ...
37
38 [ I'll try all of your suggestions ... as I'm confident again there must
39 be a way to fix audio in FF without pulse... ] just as the other dev
40 said, that it is there, only for Archlinux, at:
41 http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@×××××××××××××××××.net/msg31927.html
42
43 I will...
44
45 But I first need to come to some terms with a different issue at:
46
47 qemu-system-x86 segfaults in libspice-server.so.1.12.0
48 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98779#c3
49
50 for which I'm now studying stuff like:
51 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project_Talk:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
52 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Virtualization
53 and quite a few related stuff elsewhere, and it's pretty hard and
54 time-comsuming...

58 I sure will, but I need longer to find time for Firefox and alsa/jackd.
