Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gecko mailing list
<gecko at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 245248: www/firefox: firefox shows wrong audio capture device list: a
capture-only device isn't shown, playback-only devices are shown as capture
devices
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245248



--- Description ---
The "Microphone to share" combobox shows microphones /dev/dsp0 .. /dev/dsp5
while there is also /dev/dsp6.

/dev/dsp6 is a capture-only device (no playback) attached to a webcam.

Only /dev/dsp2, /dev/dsp3, /dev/dsp6 are capture devices:
> $ /usr/local/bin/openal-info
> Available playback devices:
>     OSS Default
>     pcm0:play:dsp0
>     pcm1:play:dsp1
>     pcm2:play:dsp2
>     pcm3:play:dsp3
>     pcm4:play:dsp4
>     pcm5:play:dsp5
> Available capture devices:
>     OSS Default
>     pcm2:record:dsp2
>     pcm3:record:dsp3
>     pcm6:record:dsp6

Does Firefox simply use the playback device list as a capture device list?

qTox, for example, shows the microphone list properly by using openal-soft.
