Alsa for x16emu

Please can I have the alsa interface auto connected via store assertion for x16emu snap.

did you try the snapcraft-alsa hack to route alsa through pulseaudio?

That’s what I’m using, but the instructions say to use the alsa plug.

Further, even with snapcraft-alsa, and defaulting to pulseaudio via the environment, it won’t work without alsa connected.

+1 from me - working audio output OOTB seems a standard piece of functionality required for an emulator.

+1 from me too for connection of the alsa interface, since Sound is listed as a core feature on the project’s README.
