Soon it won't matter ,if you don't want pulseaudio as a dependency, since pulseaudio will be required to build Firefox.

I know you are just the messenger, this just confirms my fears...

Seamonkey might not be a future alternative, since it may require too much reimplentation the further Firefox developes in the direction it does.
Thanks for the head's up. At least I can join a seamonkey user's list and 
have a snowball's chance of being heard saying "The only reason I do this 
is so that I don't have to run Pulseaudio."
I'm here on NetBSD specifically trying to avoid running **** like 
PulseAudio && systemd.
I'd run dillo, lynx, amaya, or elinks before I run Pulseaudio. Heck, I'll 
telnet to port 80 and do a manual "GET /" before I run Pulseaudio. Running 
Lennart Pottering code is not on the table for me. YMMV.
