[miniquad] is a safe and cross-platform rendering library
focused on portability and low-end platforms support.

This month `miniquad`-based games got a recommended way to make sounds:
[quad-snd].
Here's a [WASM demo][quad-snd-demo] ([source][quad-snd-demo-src]).

[good-web-game] now uses [quad-snd] and can run ggez's ["sounds"][ggez-sounds]
example: [WASM demo][gwg-sounds-demo].
