Upstream provides a public interface to the snes_spc library in a
separate download not included with gme [0].  Some games rely on this
interface, for example eternity [1].

I've prepared a patch that adds the SPC interface as a separate
library, see attached.  I copied the snes_spc files directly into
debian/spc, but maybe this could be cleaner as a multiple upstream
source package.  If you would prefer that approach, please let me know
and I will refactor.

Thank you for considering.

Best wishes,
Mike

Hi,

I would like to apply the patch attached to the original message.
I'll plan to do an upload to delayed/10 in a few days.  If you have
any feedback, please let me know.

Best wishes,
Mike

Check with upstream why it is not included in gme. As long as it is
separate, it would be better to also have it packaged separately.

Also check with upstream if this is maintained at all and guaranteed to
be available for future releases. Just patching in some random code
found elsewhere that even adds API is usually not a good idea.
