FWIW, this appears to have a native version.

I did not encounter cracking/popping noises in my testing, but I did see fairly frequent crashes in FAudio. Also, much of the audio is missing as it hasn't yet been transcoded. Transcoding the wma files to ogg works around that, but I still see crashes.

Nope, the log is for the Windows version under Proton Experimental as stated in the description. A native version option exists, but it doesn't work (just closes itself showing nothing).
