Details

Description: Currently firefox is being built without enabling sndio audio backend support. For those interested in using sndio as an alternative audio backend, it's way better to have applications providing native support.

It might be it's a matter of adding "ac_add_options --enable-sndio", and also adding "export MOZ_SNDIO=1", as well as 'export MOZ_SNDIO_LIBS="-lsndio"' to the mozconfig... It might be this is also required:

To really get it to work...

If media/libcubeb/src/moz.build needs to be patched to get this to work, it sounds like it isn't supported upstream. Please open a Mozilla bug report for this.

I agree; I won't carry a patch for this.
