Today, I lost 3 hours trying to have my #FreeBSD jailed #Librewolf rendering audio via my USB soundbar. Non jailed #mpv and #qutebrowser did work as expected (hear using the `sysctl hw.snd.defaul_unit` value) so I thought I was messing up with exposed devices into the jail.
I turned out, Librewolf (and any Firefox ?) requires to manually have media.cubeb.backend set to "oss"...
