Comment (by barracuda156):

 With almost the same patches (I had to drop a patch for freetype,
 otherwise it did not build) on Sonoma I got a nearly identical result:
 video works, audio is broken. So at least it is not specific to powerpc.
 Either some patch is wrong, or pulseaudio is broken, or VLC is broken
 without GUI. Hopefully the first :)

 I tired playing some FLAC on Sonoma:
 {{{
 ~ % vlc file:///Users/svacchanda/Downloads/\(G\)I-DLE\ -\ I\ burn\
 \(2021.01.11\)\ \[FLAC_24bits_96kHz\]\ \{NetEase\ Music\}/06.\ DAHLIA.flac
 VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b)
 W: [] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but
 that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities
 support.
 [000000012d604c10] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.
 Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
 Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.
 status change: ( audio volume: 256 )
 }}}
 And have no audio output at all.
