Hi,
The bug mention in
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-use-microphone-with-firefox.74292/ is
still up. But I fixed it and the solution is very simple, so if you could add
it by default in firefox port it could be cool for everyone.
Problem
Firefox won't use OSS as backend audio server.
Observation
There's a project created by Firefox that is crossplateform
https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb.
Cubeb is already used in Firefox but it doesn't well configured.
Cubeb is maintained for BSD/Illumnos OSS system as shown there :
https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb/commit/226d383c136b8586b69b74f420a5afc8b243cf49
https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb/wiki/Backend-Support
where OSS is in tier-2
Fix
so simply add in the default about:config these lines :
media.cubeb.backend oss
media.cubeb.input_voice_routing true
and the rest is already configured, check that the line is already
there :
media.cubeb.output_voice_routing true
Usability
when the user use microphone the proposition let you the choice to use
/dev/dspX
As in the good old days.
PS : I fixed it on firefox-esr
Best regards,
Philippe Krejčí
