1279832 - Removed pulseaudio and no sound anymore

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 783733

(Core :: Audio/Video: cubeb, defect, P2)

Description

[Daniela]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0
Build ID: 20160606114208

Steps to reproduce:

- I removed pulseaudio, because I need a realtime sound studio setup.
- I've restarted the system.
- Configured Jack Audio Connection Kit to use ALSA driver.
- Tested,  if the sound configuration works in Linux Ubuntu 14.04 with:
aplay -D pcm.jack audiofile.mp3
--> Result: Linux sound seems to be okay as I can hear sound.



Actual results:

No sound in Firefox anymore.
a) With JACK server started,
b) with JACK server stopped.

Both doesn't plays sound in the Firefox Browser anymore.

I tested the function of my sound card with:
aplay -D pcm.jack audiofile.mp3

Result: The audio files plays and I can hear sound, the alsa sound configuration seems to be correct.


Expected results:

I would expect to have still sound in Firefox (I had it before I purged pulseaudio).

I would expect, that I can configure Firefox which audio source it should use,
for instance "JACK Audio Connection Kit".

But I do not want to restart the application to have sound in Firefox.

Full jack support is on the way but not landed yet. I assign it to padenot since he handles Jack changes, for now at least.

@padenot: feel free to redistribute it if you are not the right person.

Let's dupe this one against the main jack bug.
