Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-chromium (Nobo= dy) <chromium@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 278521: www/chromium: Change default audio output to PULSEAUDIO to make chromium to play nice with desktop environments https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D278521 --- Description --- Nowadays it is a common expectation that when a new audio device is connect= ed, like headset, the audio IO is switched to go through this new device. This is typically done in desktop environments using PulseAudio - audio is routed to the new device automatically, in a centralized fashion. This is how it works in Firefox, but it currently doesn't work in Chromium. I am suggesting to make PulseAudio default, since most users run Chromium in desktop environments and users would benefit from it behaving nicely.
