Bug 218704: www/firefox has no sound.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218704



--- Description ---
For www/firefox version 53.0_2,1, sound does not work when built with the
standard configuration.

I recently installed FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p9 and built all ports from scratch,
almost entirely with the default configurations.  I found there was no sound in
firefox, including YouTube videos.  Other applications I tested for sound still
worked, including opera, xmms, vlc-qt4 and the chrome browser.

After much searching, the suggested solution in various forums is to turn off
Pulse Audio in the configuration.  This I did.  After rebuilding firefox, the
sound worked again.

For reference, here is the configuration I used, after turning off Pulse Audio.
