Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gecko mailing list <gecko@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 238096: www/firefox: some videos don't have sound - include sndio in default audio options https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238096 --- Description --- e.g. https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=_oWcfUt9QUs (a silent gnn is a rare thing) the same video can be played directly via multimedia/mpv and it seems that firefox chooses incorrect codecs. while this may be specific to my computer setup, I have found that switching the backend to sndio resolves this issue, on 3 different systems (intel i915, USB audio devices, HDMI output). Is it possible to add SNDIO to the default OPTIONS_MULTI_AUDIO? the overall difference in size to www/firefox is negligable - a few KiB only, and it saves having to rebuild a very very large port each update. Alternatively, I can provide more debugging info if needed, I'm just not sure where to look for that.help
