I seriously doubt they would accept a patch to restore the ALSA
features that they intentionally removed with the goal of not having
to support multiple audio output backends.
I don't use Pulse Audio either, and have no intention of doing so in
the near future. If Firefox doesn't support ALSA, then I will not be
listening to audio in Firefox. I still have Google-Chrome installed,
and I use that for the rare occasion when I want to watch/listen to a
YouTube submission.
