--- Comment #1 from Jan Beich <jbeich at FreeBSD.org> ---
BUFSZ_P2 is a compatibility hack for
audio/alsa-plugins/files/alsa-plugins.patch. When enabled it causes
assertion-crash in aplay(1) from audio/alsa-utils. Only gecko@ ports appear to
be fragile with ariff's improvements for alsa-plugins-oss which mi tried to fix
in bug 196051. As a workaround try to comment out EXTRA_PATCHES line in
alsa-plugins port to bring experience closer to OSS on Linux. Current defaults
are balanced due to lack of package flavor support or option requirements in
dependencies.

Better approach is to enable PULSEAUDIO by default (already in configure.in)
until OSS is polished enough to land upstream: media/libcubeb used for mainly
HTML5 audio playback and media/webrtc/trunk/webrtc/modules/audio_device for
device enumeration, capture & playback in WebRTC. files/1021761 already
contains partial support, so when you build Firefox against PULSEAUDIO but
don't launch the server it'd fallback to OSS backend, same for ALSA if later
uninstalled - see cubeb_init().
