Bug 279998: www/chromium: Skype does not work after implement selectable audio
backend support
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=279998



--- Description ---
Previously I used chromium built from ports with audio backend alsa. Skype
calls worked with it.

After #246449 was committed I use chromium package. Tried Skype call recently,
with default audio backend sndio, but people can't hear me. Then I added
--audio-backend=alsa and tried again, but the same issue.

Fortunately no .so version bump for dependencies since version 124. So I just
installed chromium 124 with alsa and tried again. It works.

Looks like alsa does not activated/used properly after implement selectable
audio backend support was committed.
