Any opinion about which audio backend is best for Chromium?

Hi, I'm doing some tests with Chromium and ALSA. After my alsa-plugins patches, some web clients work better with ALSA than SNDIO, but I'm not sure if that is a good enough reason to switch. For example I tested: https://web.skype.com/ The echo-test stopped working with SNDIOD over here, but other services like jitsi still work fine, so I suspect the skype web client has some expectations about very low audio latency. And I suspect that Microsoft never tested this service on FreeBSD :-( Of course all audio issues are gone in Firefox with the cubeb OSS backend selected, but then Firefox doesn't support video with web skype ... --HPS
