About al_get_audio_event_source, when I added those it seemed useful but I’m not sure anymore. I don’t use Allegro for audio but I don’t have to deal with any of those signals so I don’t see why Allegro can’t work without them. I think we could drop them without any harm.
iPhone specifics -- I’ll put it on my TODO list again.
DISPLAY_CONNECTED/DISCONNECTED -- I just mentioned in the Menu thread that the idea presented there for a general system event source would work for these events too (obviously not very well thought out, my bad.)

The big one is the build system for the Android port. I would like
(most) of the examples to build for Android on a Linux host. They don't
have to run especially well, but once the examples are easily runnable
on a device we will surely flush out many bugs. And, ultimately, users
should not need to manually set up an Android-specific project to use
the port.
Going through the 5.1 additions in the docs, here are some things:
* al_get_audio_event_source, as I wrote in January:
The aqueue driver is the only one which emits these new events.
[...]
I think the events can and should be generated by the driver's
solitary voice instead of a new special purpose audio event source.
* iphone specifics changes as mentioned in January
* I don't understand the documentation for
ALLEGRO_EVENT_DISPLAY_CONNECTED/DISCONNECTED.
What is the relation of the "display" event source to the physical
display?
* I think people are looking at the menu API now.
* audio recording API should be reviewed
* the video addon can be trimmed a bit I think
* (vague reservations about the auto-convert bitmap API still)
