Bug#872610: Firefox 55: Why you compiled the firefox without ALSA support again

[Jürgen Göricke]

Package: firefox
Version: 55.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

why you compiled the firefox with pulseaudio support only again?
I wan't install and use pulseaudio on my system and the firefox esr is no
alternative for me.
A response from mozilla support redacted that the firefox can compiled 
with alsa support in the future too. Please compile the firefox (without esr) 
with alsa _and_ pulseaudio support! Thanks!

Regards Jürgen
