    Revert "www/chromium: Change default audio output to PULSEAUDIO to make
chromium to play nice with desktop environments"

    This reverts commit 89e432ced730385869e5bf6df4b705facbd1c947.

    Reason: Several people complained that the PulseAudio dependency is a lot
heavier than Sndio.

    This is currently a controversial issue because:
    1. PulseAudio is indeed a heavier dependency compared to Sndio,
       so for people who prefer minimalistic setup Sndio should be a default.
    2. Currently desktop environments work best with PulseAudio, so
       it is better for average users to have PulseAudio as a default backend.

    It would be best if www/chromium would allow to change audio backend
at-startup
    or on-the-fly without the need to change port options.

    This can be achieved by the following methods:
    1. Flavorizing www/chromium based on audio backends.
    2. Creating slave ports with different audio backends.
    3. Implementing on-the-fly or at-startup setting of the audio backend.

    In https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246449#c5 Robert Nagy
<rnagy@FreeBSD.org>
    volunteered to implement audio backend dependency in a proper way.

    I've suggested that the item 3. above is a proper way for chromium.
