Music sounds broken in Flatpak sandbox
See original GitHub issueNot sure if that’s a valid bug, because it only happens when the game launched in Flatpak’s sandbox and never happens when I launch game without Flatpak. I decided to make a bug report anyway because it never happens with any other games.
Edit: second reason why I decided to make this bug report is because I think this issue is really weird: music sometimes works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Describe the bug: Music sounds extremely broken, but if I pause music and resume it again, it starts to sound fine.

I don’t really follow the goings-on of the perennial “linux on the desktop” efforts but claiming that flatpak is the direction, at least for me, requires some sort of citation. I’m aware of at least three competing standards (flatpak, appimage, ubuntu’s snap), all slightly different with (as far as I can tell) no conclusive answer as to which one is “best”, which is a bit funny considering the problem they’re supposed to be solving. I guess it’s to be expected, though, as per this classic xkcd strip.
(Also see discussion in #2960. This battle has been fought once before.)
We test across a broad range of distros and have not run into an issue with the appimage. Could you please describe why it does not work for you?
