Sound delay on Mac (not just Tic--maybe SDL?)

I'm having an issue with audio on my Mac laptop... there is a delay before hearing a sound after it has been played in Tic-80. This delay increases the longer the app has been running, until i finally wind up with literally hours of delay... i'll be done coding and I'll be surfing the web  or something and all the noises I played an hour ago in Tic-80 will suddenly go off...

I know that both Pico and Tic use SDL... this only happens in these two apps.

Anyone know anything about this, and/or a potential solution? Does NOT appear to happen when I export to the web, so I think it's got to be an SDL audio issue.

Thanks!

This has been brought up a few times on github (eg https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/issues/1839) - it seems to be fixed in the latest dev versions (at least on Linux) but not sure about Mac.

yes, the issue should be fixed on the dev version, you can check it here https://nightly.link/nesbox/TIC-80/workflows/build/main
