+    Experiment: Try processing a resource manager job if we're on the Emscripten build.
+
+    This serves two purposes:
+
+        1) It ensures jobs are actually processed at some point since we cannot guarantee that the
+           caller is doing the right thing and calling ma_resource_manager_process_next_job(); and
+
+        2) It's an attempt at working around an issue where processing jobs on the Emscripten main
+           loop doesn't work as well as it should. When trying to load sounds without the `DECODE`
+           flag or with the `ASYNC` flag, the sound data is just not able to be loaded in time
+           before the callback is processed. I think it's got something to do with the single-
+           threaded nature of Web, but I'm not entirely sure.
