Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Firefox 57.0.4 without pulseaudio? Possible?
I was doing the exact same thing this weekend! The answer is yes (I think). I'm not on my Gentoo box at the moment, so I'm not 100% sure that I don't have apulse - I don't recall installing it, but I definitely don't have pulseaudio. The sound was working (with speakertest), but I had no sound in Firefox. I found a forum post [1] that said to find these two settings in about:config: browser.tabs.remote.autostart browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 and set them both to false. For me, the latter was already false, but the first was set to true. And then the sound worked! Hope it works for you, -- Thomas [1] https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8118290.html (the third post)

Keywords (more me at least) here were "believe" and "trust"... Say, I would produce firewall systems professionally and would "believe", that they are secure and "trust" in my work despite the fact others has done some tests which render this security questionable...would I be called a software engineer? But this is only my point of view and my personal opinion, which may or mau not be valid for others. No offense intended! And: I dont want to start a flame war here.

Add this to /etc/portage/profile/package.provided: media-sound/pulseaudio-11.1 This will tell portage to assume that PA is installed, even though it isn't.
