Hi Meino!

I regret not having told you more... See below...

You may not thank me, if you read my view, and even remotely agree:
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg31926.html
( and that is what I regret not having told you... I regret it because
you now may remain with that pulse spyware.. 

However, pls. note that in my first message to you I just said what the
reason was. I did not recommend pulse to you... )

And now the question/query/my-asking-for-advice.

In that thred on alsa-user archive that I linked to, I got this link:

[linuxaudio.org] html5 in ff through jack
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2016-June/thread.html#105188

I'm gasping for free time to do various things, fixing audio in ff is
not of higest priority... Can not dedicate hours to this...

Anyone has a link for easy fixing of audio in Firefox the sans-pulse
way (and other poetterware excluded as well, of course)? With clear easy
steps, maybe?

Thanks in advance!
