Sound doesn't work by default

[Geoffrey Pursell]

Binary package hint: mednafen

Sound should work out of the box with no hassle.

Currently, however, you must start mednafen with -sounddevice pulse for sound to work. Thereafter, mednafen will remember that selection and the parameter is no longer needed.
