Hi, I'm currently on linumint 17.2 Cinnamon x64 (fresh install) and firefox 40.0 As usual i disabled pulse with daemon.conf and client.conf and after restart i have no sound on youtube with html5. now ive tried this page http://musicofnature.org/songsofinsects/flashtest/index.html and it seems that firefox plays sound from flashplayer (maybe the plugin itself has no problem. i don't know how this works)

So is there any way to make html5 play sound with alsa without pulse? I need alsa cause im using some filters to improve my sound.
