Reason: Several people complained that the PulseAudio dependency is a l= ot 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 defaul= t. 2. Currently desktop environments work best with PulseAudio, so it is better for average users to have PulseAudio as a default backe= nd. 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=3D246449#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.
