Very nice!

I'd love to see improvements in audio sync. OpenAL has huge (100s of ms) latency with PulseAudio on my integrated sound card. When I dug into it the buffer size was being derived from some arbitrary figure reported by the ALSA driver, that nothing except OpenAL seems to use. Apps that uses ALSA or Pulse directly work much better.

With Pipewire aiming to give JACK-like latency things might get even better.

FS-UAE is my favorite emulator for development. Its quick snapshot save/restore feature is invaluable. I still use WinUAE on a Windows PC because its beamraced vsync is unbeatable for gaming (and seems not available in OpenGL or Vulkan). I'd love to see better support for that on Windows at least.

Thanks for your hard work on this.
