Bug 362445 – net-libs/xulrunner-2.0-r1 and www-client/firefox-4.0-r2: webm/ogg/wav needs alsa support

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas 2011-04-07 13:56:15 UTC]

I found Bug 276354 with a old solution to this. So I updated it to the new versions and here it is.
I also gave this patch to the mozilla team: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503691#c22

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build your System with USE="-alsa oss"
2. emerge -pv firefox
Actual Results:  
alsa-dependencies showing up

Expected Results:  
no alsa-dependencies

The modified xulrunner/firefox ebuilds are copyed and edited from the mozilla overlay.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english. :)

OSS support is only supported by bsd's. There will be no change for linux side of things.

No change? The patch is working fine!
I hoped somebody would improve it or the ebuilds to allow ALSA/OSS switching with USE-Flags or at runtime.
