--- Comment #7 from Jan Beich (mail not working) <jbeich at FreeBSD.org> ---
Maybe start contributing upstream. No one is paid to support Firefox on
FreeBSD. In fact, the build is busted at least twice per week as there's no CI
in place (Solaris RIP). Many features available on Tier1 platforms are simply
not implemented: Sandbox, GeckoProfiler, CrashReporter, network link state
detection, GamePad API, EME, PPAPI. OSS audio is one of those. I've tried to
help but no luck - the contributor ran away. The patch is now a source of
rebase churn and maybe dropped in future.

Or make PulseAudio suck less on FreeBSD, or implement missing features in
sndio, or triage user stories into actionable bugs. Words are cheap, of course.
