So upstream lies then. To quote apulse's README.md:
Firefox 58 (Nightly) tightened its sandbox a bit more. Now `ioctl()`
calls are forbidden too, but are used by ALSA libraries. That causes
sandbox violation with subsequent process termination. Exception can be
added by setting parameter `security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist`
in `about:config`. That field accepts a comma separated list of system
call numbers. Add there `16` for x86-64, or `54` for x86 or ARM.

It's the usual. A compatibility wrapper can never exceed the original.
But - if it works for anyone - more power to them.
