Actually, there's one more change I'd like to sneak in here. The desktop file is currently configured to run zsnes with -ad sdl which sets the sound ouput driver to sdl. I'll never use the desktop file, so this honestly doesn't affect me, but it bugs me as the wrong way to do this. It was probably put in because someone found that sdl worked well for them, but that's not the best solution for everyone, and it shouldn't be forced. Sound is zsnes finicky, and may require any of a variety of settings. A user can set the sound configuration the way he wants in ~/.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg, but the next time he runs zsnes with the provided desktop file, his config file will get *overwritten* with the sdl driver as specified in this .desktop file. I updated the debdiff to remove the -ad sdl from the .desktop file included in this package so users can configure the sound as they see fit in their personal config and not have it overwritten the next time they run zsnes with the .desktop file.
