Hello world :-)=20

I was just about to report request to enable PulseAudio by default in Chrome
just as it is in Firefox, but I found this thread that requests disabling t=
he
PulseAudio by default:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D216327

PulseAudio distinguishes input and output devices and the sound streams so =
you
can list them and adjust parameters such as volume per stream rather than p=
er
device. This is really important for WebRTC where you can easily and quickly
switch between different devices for instance web camera microphone or inte=
rnal
laptop microphone or external microhpne.

In Firefox that uses PulseAudio I can see many input devices and I can sele=
ct
among them. In Chromium that uses only ALSA by default I can see only "defa=
ult"
microphone and this is not the one that works nor any other input device.

I did a compilation of Chromium with PulseAudio enabled but each pkg update
tells me it wants to replace it with a binary that has defaults (no
PulseAudio).

Is PulseAudio still not welcome in Chromium by default?

Best regards,
Tomek
