https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278521 --- Comment #16 from Oleh Hushchenkov <o.hushchenkov@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #15) > I am curious, why would you need chromium-alsa? Skype and Teams work better with ALSA backend. I used to build chromium from sources to enable ALSA, but it takes too long on my computer now. > One potential problem would be that www/chromium builds for a very long time, like 24 hours, and having many of them would exacerbate this situation. Building chromium from sources is much bigger problem for people without modern 16-core CPU. The reason to have binary packages with different audio backends is to help users who prefers non default one. Custom build is not a problem for smaller apps, but chromium is simply too huge for most of users to build it from sources.
