It would be better if it explained that this is a _video_ codec, but Gentoo's USE flag and package descriptions have always been rubbish. |

A little bit OT, but does anyone know how to satisfy Firefox's need for audio device. If I have no asound.conf Firefox will use hw0,0 for audio output. If I set asound to: |
22 |
|
23 |
pcm.!default { |
24 |
type hw |
25 |
card 0 |
26 |
device 0 |
27 |
} |
28 |
|
29 |
ctl.!default { |
30 |
type control |
31 |
card 0 |
32 |
device 0 |
33 |
} |
34 |
|

Sorry. Wrote this from memory so there might be a typo somewhere. With these settings Firefox don't playback anything... Other applications and flash plugin works perfectly. |

How could I get firefox to use hw0,3 or hw1,3 for HTML5 audio playback? |
