Have you tried to "pkg delete -f pulseaudio" after installing chromium? If
chromium still works fine then runtime dependency can be dropped, see my pa=
tch.

> Don't want pulseaudio. OSS (+ ALSA over OSS) is just enough as default.

IIRC, native OSS backend never left TODO stage. ALSA on FreeBSD is just a
wrapper around OSS which is why it supports volume per application
transparently unlike Linux. In WebRTC case ALSA doesn't support anything but
"default" or "oss" (both using /dev/dsp) as a microphone for getUserMedia, =
so
if the mic is connected via usb or to a different panel one would have to e=
dit
~/.asoundrc, reassign pins via device.hints or just use pulseaudio.
