> The current Firefox port uses PulseAudio as the default audio backend

Only if you have pulseaudio package installed. This is what upstream (Mozil=
la
Corporation) maintains for desktop Linux and works best in GNOME/KDE/etc du=
e to
integration with panels/bars/widgets.

> But as on FreeBSD, the default audio backend is sndio.

Source? sound(4) exposes OSSv4 API with additional features provided via
virtual_oss package. In firefox it's supported since ports 0c61cc4d7a7b.

> What do you think about changing PulseAudio for sndio as the default audi=
o backend?

See bug 218188 and pkg-message. On a fresh system "pkg install firefox sndi=
o"
already uses sndio by default.
