The branch main has been updated by yuri: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/ports/commit/?id=762aa0135a4e18d32bd27bba5266fe6edd769d82 commit 762aa0135a4e18d32bd27bba5266fe6edd769d82 Author: Yuri Victorovich <yuri@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2024-05-05 15:51:10 +0000 Commit: Yuri Victorovich <yuri@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-05-05 16:09:08 +0000 Revert "www/chromium: Change default audio output to PULSEAUDIO to make chromium to play nice with desktop environments" This reverts commit 89e432ced730385869e5bf6df4b705facbd1c947. Reason: Several people complained that the PulseAudio dependency is a lot heavier than Sndio. This is currently a controversial issue because: 1. PulseAudio is indeed a heavier dependency compared to Sndio, so for people who prefer minimalistic setup Sndio should be a default. 2. Currently desktop environments work best with PulseAudio, so it is better for average users to have PulseAudio as a default backend. It would be best if www/chromium would allow to change audio backend at-startup or on-the-fly without the need to change port options. This can be achieved by the following methods: 1. Flavorizing www/chromium based on audio backends. 2. Creating slave ports with different audio backends. 3. Implementing on-the-fly or at-startup setting of the audio backend. In https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246449#c5 Robert Nagy <rnagy@FreeBSD.org> volunteered to implement audio backend dependency in a proper way. I've suggested that the item 3. above is a proper way for chromium.
