Description

Description

This is pretty niche request, I understand, but I thought I'd ask anyway in the off-chance others might be interested in it.

Would be nice if there was a way to allow for fast forwarding that also keeps the sound from being sped up. I was doing some googling and there was another person that asked for this on Reddit some months ago. Seems they chose not to make the request so I'm doing so instead. :]

Another user in that thread mentioned it might be possible using a similar technique as Run-Ahead but I do not know enough to say if that is accurate or not.

Research direction

Start by tracing RetroArch's existing fast-forward behavior and audio handling. Define how audio should remain at normal speed while fast-forwarding, then identify an implementation approach and tests that demonstrate the requested behavior.
