16764	Firefox (102) on alsa-only system	thomas	pierre	"as being a renitent no-poettering-stuff-on-my-system user, i have no pulseaudio installed. For sound, alsa if by far enough for my needs. Unfortunatly, Firefox (102) complained about the settings we use when no pulse is installed:

{{{

I digged a bit around and found that

{{{
ac_add_options --enable-audio-backends=alsa
}}}

solves this problem. Looks like that the options --disable-pulseaudio and --enable-alsa are not needed anylonger.

This ticket might be used for a discussion about the options. I'd suggest to change
{{{
# Uncomment the following option if you have not installed PulseAudio
#ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio
# or uncomment this if you installed alsa-lib instead of PulseAudio
#ac_add_options --enable-alsa
}}}
to
{{{
# Uncomment the following option if you have not installed PulseAudio and want
# to use Alsa instead
#ac_add_options --enable-audio-backends=alsa
