The project seems dead, a lot of pull requests just waiting to be included, also last release was multiple years ago, is there a fork that's a bit more active?

v0.4 is planned.

This requires the utilization of dedicated sessions and session files to utilize nvidia-xrun, it conflicts with nouveau, doesn't work with Steam (kinda when you'd want the full capabilities of your GPU) and regardless of whether a release is planned or not, it's been 4 years since the last release and it hasn't seen any actual development since a PR merge in June.

It's dead, Jim.
