Description Betso 2016-01-22 02:00:50 UTC 
Firefox has issues detecting camera and microphone when trying to use several WebRTC services.

https://appear.in works now (did not work until last release of firefox).
But e.g. https://meet.jit.si does not and there is no message in xterm (where firefox was started from); it just displays a generic icon and no video; trying to play with the video on/off and mic mute/unmute buttons does not result in any output on the console.

Trying the relatively new built-in Firefox "Hello" (which is WebRTC), I get the following error (starting firefox from xterm):

/* Console output starts here. */

Sorry, did not include versions:

FreeBSD: 10.2-RELEASE
Firefox: 41.0.2 built from port
Comment 2 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-01-22 03:50:37 UTC 
Audio capture currently only works with PULSEAUDIO option enabled. ALSA won't work due to device enumeration code in WebRTC implementation not being compatible with alsa-plugins such as the one for OSS. Native OSS exists as a WIP patch in even as WIP patch in files/patch-bug1021761 but doesn't cover WebRTC yet.
Comment 3 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-05-06 11:43:53 UTC 
See ports r414386.
Comment 4 Betso 2016-05-07 00:43:20 UTC 
Yes! It works!
Thanks for pointing that out, Jan Beich!
Vielen Dank! :)
