With the moonlight addin no longer being supported, this would allow for moonlight-qt to be utilized.

Could be an easy way to get makeMKV into libreelec since it's know on flathub. In my experience bluray support is better in makeMKV compared to other methods.
Only thing is that I don't know yet how to make use of libmmbd.so.0 from the flatpak folder.
Flatpack is an abomination on numerous levels. Definitely won't be happening.
That sounds pretty harsh. Can you elaborate on this?
I don't agree with every statement on this page or how it's been written up .. but it's a fairly accurate summary.
Hmm that's sad.
But is it different compared to add extra repositories? In both cases I have to trust that the maintainers are providing the software as expected that means with high integrity and timely.
For me the first contact to flatpak is know the easy installation of makeMKV on Fedora. The alternatives to Flatpak are compiling it myself or adding an additional Repo. I tried out the first one which ended with compiling errors. The repo I found is not compatible with rpmfusion and the package is outdated. So for me it still appears as a good alternative.
Or am I missing something?
On current Generic LE13 nightly x86_64 I flatpak run Chromium (I tried Firefox as well) fine (hardware = someone's old iMac) ... but ... there is no audio. I find several posts on several forums about this (also here). I am rather new here (for x86_64 that is) . Is the audio issue meanwhile solved, perhaps to have some settings or other workaround?

Do you have audio in Kodi (GUI, video playback)?
The flatpak addon uses the audio device configured in Kodi and just spins up a (temporary) pulseaudio sink for that, if it's an ALSA device.
If you don't have audio in kodi you also won't have it in the flatpak addons.

Thanks for quick reaction! Yes I have audio in Kodi on PCH : HDA Intel PCH, CS4206 Analog in fact I can play a .wav via this device using aplay when browser runs via flatpak.
Please post a log - just ssh in when eg Chromium flatpak runs, run "pastekodi" and post the URL
so long,

thanks for follow up

Please enable debug logging in kodi, reboot, start a flatpak again and post another log.
Also: you don't seem to have any ALSA audio devices configured in kodi. Did you manually configure pulseaudio? If yes, post all config files you added.

About output device config it is: "ALSA: HDA Intel PCH, CS4206 Analog"
and the (only choice) one that works in LibreELEC/Kodi on the iMac speakers
here is next log with debug

Please test with the librespot addon disabled, reboot, then configure the audio device in system settings so you get GUI sound and then run Chromium flatpak.
The librespot addon has a long history of creating a mess with audio output so I wouldn't be surprised if it works now.

Thank you so much for expertise and patience and reaction.
I know how funny librespot may act so I removed it.
still
no sound on flatpak Chromium Youtube
I tried Firefox too and some other content (VRT-Max I am in Belgium)
here latest log (up to flatpak Chromium Youtube)

You're still doing it wrong:

right 
I do it wrong but this is a daily driver system ... I revert to debug back asap but hoped to get to the point that librespot perhaps is not the issue! Have a nice day!
asap update
here is log with debug and without librespot
