Hi,
There have been a few reports of bg music playing incorrectly when reaching low life in sf2ce, when music is supposedly to play at a faster rate, and after some investigation found a repro case in regular FBNeo (v44)
I don't know much about cps1 emulation, but as it happened with other games, it seems that not all variables might be synced properly when saved/restored from a savestate, making it not deterministic. It's usually not noticeable for the user because only happens during the fast music state (where they would usually never save a state), but it's more noticeable in fc (and probably libretro/retroarch) as they make intensive use of savestates during rollbacks.
You can repro it by loading the attached savestate from a clean state (no game loaded), or from another game. Reloading the savestate from within the same game might not produce or even fix the issue, it depends on some factors I haven't been able to isolate (ie loading the savestate twice, fixes the music playback)
TBC this savestate was made from current gcc win32 FBNeo build from appveyor build site: https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo-WIP-Storage-Facility/releases/tag/appveyor-build

I confirm i can't trigger the issue anymore with retroarch's runahead, it might be a placebo effect but i think the overall quality of that game's sound with runahead improved, even outside that crit health music.

So fast, awesome job!
