Wwise pre-release support - latest Wwise won't build against Epic's changes for upcoming UE 5.1

Question

To meet our business objectives, we follow the Unreal Engine codebase ahead of their official releases. We do this by integrating changes from their perforce depot: ssl:p4-licensee.epicgames.com:1666

The current latest Wwise release (2022.1.0.7985) doesn't build against Epic's changes that will be in their Unreal Engine 5.1 release.

When will a Wwise release supporting Unreal Engine 5.1 be available?

Are nightly pre-release Wwise releases or a git or perforce depot available?

Or more generally, how do others working on pre-release Unreal Engine 5 maintain Wwise in their codebase?

Thanks!

We're in a similar boat. We're currently using a modified version of 2021.1.10, but it generates a number of warnings.

If we could get a rough timeline that would help us plan our schedule for moving to 5.1.

Having access to a pre-release repo would be incredibly valuable too.
