i'm sure the qoa format is fine for games in general... but this also means that the very fine music of this game can't be played in your favorite music player along with the rest of your music....

Availability is not the issue. Is it really necessary to have the music in qoa? A standard has value too. It is 120MB, not just a few kB.

You have plans to try and push qoa in ffmpeg and maintain it there? With all the fusing testing that's quite a commitment.

Not against it, as outlined in my blog post. Awaiting your pull request to support MP3 and/or Vorbis.
