pkg-message:
For install:
## Missing features Some features found on Windows, macOS and Linux are not implemented: - Encrypted Media Extensions (requires Widevine CDM binary) - Process sandboxing (requires Capsicum backend) - Reduced memory usage (requires mozjemalloc) - Crash Reporter (requires Google Breakpad and reproducible builds) - Performance profiling (requires GeckoProfiler) - Gamepad API (requires libusbhid backend) - WebVR (requires open source runtime) - TCP fast open - `about:networking` (requires link state notification) ## Audio backend Currently used audio backend can be inspected on `about:support` page. Supported backends and default probing order is as follows: - `pulse-rust` if `pulseaudio` package is installed (PULSEAUDIO option) - `jack` if `jackit` package is installed (JACK option) - `sndio` if `sndio` package is installed (SNDIO option) - `alsa` if `alsa-lib` package is installed (ALSA option) - `oss` (always available) To force a specific backend open `about:config` page and create `media.cubeb.backend` preference. Microphone selection only works in `oss`, `pulse`, `pulse-rust` backends. Other backends are limited to `default` which is usually `/dev/dsp`, so use virtual_oss to reroute microphones from non-default devices. ## smb:// issues Network group, machine, and share browsing does not work correctly. ## sftp:// Only sftp access using public key authentication works. To easily setup public key authentication to `remote_host`: $ ssh-keygen $ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh remote_host "cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys" The SSH server on `remote_host` must allow pub key authentication.

gecko: add native OSS support, replacing ALSA as fallback

OSS is always built but during runtime only selected by default if
neither pulseaudio, jackit or sndio are installed. In particular,
Gnome and KDE users would still be offered PulseAudio by default due
to integration with multi-app volume widgets, current song bars,
screensharing with audio, etc. that prefer to talk over DBus.
Those can opt out via media.cubeb.backend=oss in about:config.
