I understand firefox 54.0-1 no longer supports ALSA for
sound, but needs pulseaudio.
And that pulseaudio remains an optional package dependency because firefox works, without sound, without it. But alsa-lib is still listed in PKGBUILD as a non-optional dependency. Is this still needed? |

firefox also has a dependency on nss which has a dependency on sqlite.
So package firefox doesn't need to list alsa-lib as a dependency if it doesn't need it but ffmpeg does.
Instead, it can treat ffmpeg as a black box and rely on ffmpeg to pull in the packages it needs in turn.
