no sound in Chromium browser via OSS
Hi,
is there a way to enable sound in Chromium via OSS (open sound system)? I know that it's possible in Firefox through the xulrunner-oss package, since FF is compiled with Alsa support by default. If there is no such way to use OSS in Chromium, would it help to use the Chromium package from AUR and change some compiler settings before building the package?
I'm using Chromium version 8.0.552.237 and 2.6.37-ARCH x86_64 kernel. And since I don't use Flash, I only tried to play youtube videos with html5 enabled and I also tried to directly play ogg vorbis, for example this one: http://www.vorbis.com/music/Mists_of_Time-4T.ogg

Re: no sound in Chromium browser via OSS
@Cadynum: thanks for the link. It's sad to hear that. Every application I use supports OSS (or there's at least a way to make it work). I can completely identify with this post:

OSS is my sound system of choice, Chrome is my browser of choice. I'm stuck with Firefox as a result of the lack of OSS support!
So I think I'm gonna switch to FF 4 - as soon as it comes out :-( Chromium without OSS support is just lame.
