Just after enabling native FLAC support in Firefox, they drop ALSA Support... totally senseless !! To enjoy FLAC quality, we still need ALSA. Pulseaudio is resampling everything !!
It's a big regression, please re-introduce ALSA support fast ! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671273 Title: PulseAudio requirement breaks Firefox on ALSA-only systems Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Upgrading Firefox to version 52 on an ALSA-only system breaks audio on all websites. PulseAudio has apparently become a hard requirement in the latest official build of Firefox, but since PulseAudio is (due to its design) not viable on some systems, this renders Firefox useless as a general- purpose browser. The upstream code still contains ALSA support. Please re-enable it on Ubuntu. I have read that Arch Linux has already done so.
