Pico 8 in other software
Picolove, written in lua for love2d: a very good starting point, especially if the engine you're using has support for lua. Has been used for "expanded" versions of games, because it's very easy to modify the resolution of the display and things like that. Works for simpler carts like Celeste, but is not memory accurate!

Simple Engine ontop of löve framework?
You should check out picolove (https://github.com/picolove/picolove). It’s the PICO-8 API implemented in Löve. It can run PICO-8 games, but it doesn’t have support for the PICO-8 dev tools (code editor, sprite editor, etc…)

What are some free alternatives to P8?
I've never used it, but you could try picolove. It's a reimplementation of the PICO-8 API in Love2D. So, only the code part is there and you don't get the music/sprite/map editor, and all the other stuff that makes PICO-8 PICO-8. If you plan on buying PICO-8 later though, this could be a good primer to learn the API for free

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
Ah, I think I've missed this commit when testing a while ago: https://github.com/icculus/mojoAL/commit/47b22d002ae4d02d758...
It says "AL_PITCH support in MojoAL should still be considered experimental!" though.

Story: Game rot... One day I have 60fps, then another day it is 5fps without any changes on my end what-so-ever.
Depending on what you're doing you could try mojoAL, an alternative (and freely usable) implementation of OpenAL: https://github.com/icculus/mojoAL
