Oops, wrong ebuild patch for xulrunner. Here's the correct one.
You will need to wait for proper support to be added to the tree, we are not gonna support overlay work in official tree builds. You will also need to have upstream fix their configure script which is rather easy to handle properly switching between alsa/oss.

Well, it's just a method that's there. Not sure why you need this as an on/off option in Xulrunner's build system. Firefox supports OSS, Gentoo has an "oss" USE flag, it can be enabled by manually editing the Makefile... IMO there's absolutely no reason not to do it. Also, getting upstream to provide a special option for it could take a year or more; more reason to go ahead and do it like that right now. It can be removed later when upstream provides a mozconfig option for it. No need to make the lives of OSS-using folks any more difficult, IMO. Firefox happens to be one the few apps that don't work correctly with an /etc/asound.conf that redirects alsalib-driven sound to OSS. I've opened a bug about it upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543779 (In reply to comment #6) > I've opened a bug about it upstream: > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543779 > Thank you, we are cc'd on the bug report, I will implement it over the next few days :) |
