Quite possibly not. Already addresses earlier in this forum thread.
Making torbrowser work with apulse is going to be easiest. It’s basically firefox.

I would vote for Alpine linux over Gentoo due musl and packages pre-compiled for ALSA
Very unlikely that we’ll ever port to something other than Debian for the foreseeable future.
Quite possibly not. Already addresses earlier in this forum thread.
I meant to say this was already addressed by apulse
which was discussed earlier.
nurmagoz:
using only ALSA may causes more problems like compatibility, vm audio syncing …etc
ALSA support was removed from firefox a few years ago
So only hope is to make pipewire working.
apulse
is an option in theory.

Was already discussed earlier in this forum thread:
Switching to ALSA - #10 by Patrick
For Tor Browser, Firefox, applications that depend on pulseaudio that do not support ALSA…
Or, you can install libapulse.
This seems cool at first sight. Quote:

Therefore asked about it specifically:
For attack surface reduction, security hardening... What is more secure, apulse …
This seemed infeasible before and it seems even more infeasible with wayland.
Hence, it is unlikely this will be implemented.
There’s no other Linux distribution which by default only uses ALSA.
What likely needs and will be done instead:
