> 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.

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.

Thank you.
