Re: Audio output from firefox

[Nat Sloss <nathanialsloss%yahoo.com.au@localhost>]

My pkgsrc tree is a little dated but looking at options.mk v 1.33 for firefox 
has PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS for NetBSD as alsa and dbus.

My firefox is built with oss and dbus, which probably should be the default 
now.

Best regards,

Nat
