Revert "www/chromium: Change default audio output to PULSEAUDIO to make chromium to play nice with desktop environments"
This reverts commit 89e432ced730385869e5bf6df4b705facbd1c947.
Reason: Several people complained that the PulseAudio dependency is a lot heavier than Sndio.
This is currently a controversial issue because:
- PulseAudio is indeed a heavier dependency compared to Sndio, so for people who prefer minimalistic setup Sndio should be a default.
- Currently desktop environments work best with PulseAudio, so it is better for average users to have PulseAudio as a default backend.
It would be best if www/chromium would allow to change audio backend at-startup
or on-the-fly without the need to change port options.
This can be achieved by the following methods:
- Flavorizing www/chromium based on audio backends.
- Creating slave ports with different audio backends.
- Implementing on-the-fly or at-startup setting of the audio backend.
In https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246449#c5 Robert Nagy <rnagy@FreeBSD.org>
volunteered to implement audio backend dependency in a proper way.
I've suggested that the item 3. above is a proper way for chromium.
