TLDR: Audio chat on discord works on linux (emulated) firefox, Broken on native Firefox. OK. So this is a FreeBSD-15.0 desktop. And audio is working here --- this is something at application or network level --- and by finding the linux binary to work, I think it gets interesting. I previously posted this bug to -stable, but this seems more hacking, now. I've actually tested Firefox, Chromium and unGoogledChromium on FreeBSD. All broken --- they fail to connect to the audio chat. I think discord is using QUIC packets, but then there also seems to be 2-way traffic in QUIC, so I'm not sure it's the problem. This all started about a week ago... and I can pin it down there as our D&D group uses the discord audio chat often. To test: open discord (discord.com) and use the web app, not the binary app (afaik, that's not available natively), go to a "server" that has an audio chat. The FreeBSD discord has a few. Try to join the chat. If it's always a yellow "connecting" or other yellow message, you fail "Connected" in green is a good message.
