I beg you to enable ALSA by default and maintain it working for the sake of lightweight community.
If you want to avoid "multiple audio backends" you are doing it wrong, once PulseAudio depends on ALSA, have you ever tried to uninstall libasound2? The application may be easier to maintain, but the system pay the price, if you want to drop some backend, then drop PA and stick with ALSA, once every system that have PA requires ALSA.
Another good reason is not to lose audience, once other browsers is maintaining ALSA support, the problem is most of them are not necessarily lightweight. And there is a plenty of lightweight browsers that does not even support multimedia.
I have being strong on my choice for Firefox, but dropping ALSA support is forcing me to look for alternatives, please, I beg you to reconsider the decision.
