Hello! I know this title is almost a clickbait but I will want to make some changes to Firefox. The thing is that I use OSS driver for audio playback [set in about:config] and I learnt that this is not a supported one.
Still I prefer OSS over ALSA and it actually works great in Firefox, the only thing is that it's a 0,5 to 1 seconds delay in sound when starting your video+audio player. So I thought this is something I should look into by myself on firsthand since the developers historically stopped to support OSS.
Therefore I need some direction on how to edit Firefox to make this delay in sound with driver OSS happen. Questions go:
* Do we get a file copy of source code when compiling a program from port?
* Are there any alternatives to get this delay without changing the source of FF?
* Is this problem possible to solve even remotely with not so much experience editing source code?
* How to do it?
Have already tried using a YouTube synchronizer which was utterly trash.
