Mednafen v1.29.0 has started freezing for me on arch linux. I don't get any error feedback.
I started using pipewire about a month ago and it works with pulseaudio applications fine.
I installed 3 packages. (pipewire, pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse)
I've always had sound.device set to "sexyal-literal-default" but since using pipewire, I've had occasional audio crackling only when running mednafen (even when it's muted in pulseaudio controls).
Mednafen has been updated with package version "1.29.0-3" 2 days ago and now it just freezes within a couple of minutes and I have to kill the process. I changed sound.device back to default and it works fine but obviously without sound.
I'm not urgent for a fix but I was wondering why it isn't just a pulseaudio application or something. Why doesn't it just work out of the box and does pipewire change anything for developers?

Had the same same problem - I forgot where I found that advice, but setting it like this works well for me:
;Select sound output device.
sound.device pipewire

I can't see any documentation on that but I've tried and it still freezes.
Maybe it will fix itself with some update or a fresh installation or something. I'm not in a hurry to fix it. I'll reply to this thread if the issue is resolved.

You're not the only one, unsurprisingly the issue is also present in Manjaro and the latest Mednafen unstable sadly doesn't fix it.
