Me either and many others on this list - there have been several
pulseaudio threads on dng over the years. But that is not the point.
Unless FF 52 onward is recompiled with the alsa switch enabled, it will
be unusable for most of us. So this is a heads up that someone will
have to step forward to do this if it is not worked out upstream. Care
to take that on?
