Description:
Can we backport the referenced patch (GitHub pull request) to
the Arch Linux package of openal, please? It would somehow
improve user experience. Waiting for a new release might take
a while: owner of the repo is not sure when to do releases,
and it seems like it might take a year or two.

Telegram stuff claims they are cherry-picking it into an official binary already.

Additional info:
* openal 1.21.1-1
* telegram-desktop 3.2.3-1
* https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/17232
* https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/pull/543

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Telegram.
2. Make a call, or play some audio files/messages.
3. Look at the "Audio Volume" applet (KDE Plasma)
4. Audio stream shows up as "telegram-desktop" binary name instead of the app's displayed name like "Telegram Desktop".

Same is true for any openal client app. See more info in upstream links.
This task depends upon
