That's a good idea provided one knows beforehand which options to select. I very
seldom know which options apply, especially on the first try. After a few failures
my guesses sometimes improve....

In the case of www/chromium it looks like the sound support is wrong, but so far
it isn't obvious which sound option is correct. Would anybody hazard a guess
as to what sound support works on a Pi3?

The clearest hint so far is a report of
ALSA lib pcm_oss.c:835:(_snd_pcm_oss_open) Cannot open device /dev/dsp
when starting up chrome.

Thanks for reading!
