49 You may not thank me, if you read my view, and even remotely agree:
50 http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@×××××××××××××××××.net/msg31926.html
51 ( and that is what I regret not having told you... I regret it because
52 you now may remain with that pulse spyware..
53
54 However, pls. note that in my first message to you I just said what the
55 reason was. I did not recommend pulse to you... )

70 And now the question/query/my-asking-for-advice.
71
72 In that thred on alsa-user archive that I linked to, I got this link:
73
74 [linuxaudio.org] html5 in ff through jack
75 http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2016-June/thread.html#105188
76
77 I'm gasping for free time to do various things, fixing audio in ff is
78 not of higest priority... Can not dedicate hours to this...
79
80 Anyone has a link for easy fixing of audio in Firefox the sans-pulse
81 way (and other poetterware excluded as well, of course)? With clear easy
82 steps, maybe?
83
84 Thanks in advance!
