Previously, the padding was silence, which was a problem when streaming since
you would sample a little bit of this silence between each buffer.
We still need a means to get padding data for the right hand side, but this
patch makes the resampler output more correct.

This time it's using real math from a real whitepaper instead of my previous
amateur, fast-but-low-quality attempt. The new resampler does "bandlimited
interpolation," as described here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/
The output appears to sound cleaner, especially at high frequencies, and of
course works with non-power-of-two rate conversions.
There are some obvious optimizations to be done to this still, and there is
other fallout: this doesn't resample a buffer in-place, the 2-channels-Sint16
fast path is gone because this resampler does a _lot_ of floating point math.
There is a nasty hack to make it work with SDL_AudioCVT.
It's possible these issues are solvable, but they aren't solved as of yet.
Still, I hope this effort is slouching in the right direction.

This would cause playback problems in certain situations, such as on the
Raspberry Pi. The device that the wait was added for seems to not benefit from
it in modern times, and standard desktop Linux seems to do the right thing
when a USB device is unplugged now, without this patch.
Fixes Bugzilla #3599.

This issue actually raises the question if this API change (requirement of initialized audio subsystem) is breaking backwards compatibility. I don't see the documentation saying it is needed in 2.0.5.
"Major changes, roughly in order of appearance:
- Use float math everywhere, instead of promoting to double and casting back
all the time.
- Conserve sound energy when downmixing any channel into two other channels.
- Add a QuadToStereo filter. (The previous technique of reusing StereoToMono
never worked, since it assumed an incorrect channel layout for 4.0.)
- Add a 71to51 filter. This removes just under half of the cases the previous
code would silently break in.
- Add a QuadTo51 filter. More silent breakage fixed.
- Add a 51to71 filter, removing another almost-half of the silently broken
cases.
- Add 8 to the list of values SDL_SupportedChannelCount will accept.
- Change SDL_BuildAudioCVT's channel-related logic to handle every case, and
to actually fail if it fails instead of silently corrupting sound data and/or
crashing down the road."
(Note that SDL doesn't otherwise support 7.1 audio yet, but hopefully it will
soon and the 7.1 converters are an important piece of that. --ryan.)
Fixes Bugzilla #3727.

I've created a new set of patches. I am happy to create more, if it would help.
One version only copies 'size'.
A second version copies both 'size' and 'silence'. When looking over the documentation for SDL_OpenAudio in SDL_audio.h, it mentioned that both 'size' and 'silence' were things that SDL_OpenAudio would calculate.
Regarding *both* patches, I did notice that SDL 1.2 appears to have always modified desired's size and silence fields. The SDL wiki, at https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_OpenAudio#Remarks , does note:

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.

src/audio/paudio/SDL_paudio.c
src/audio/qsa/SDL_qsa_audio.c

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

Some code in SDL loads libraries with SDL_LoadObject to get more information or use newer APIs. SDL_LoadObject may fail, set an error message and SDL will continue with some fallback code. Since SDL will overwrite the error or exit the function with a return value that indicates success, the error form SDL_LoadObject for the optional stuff might as well be cleared right away.

The attached patch adds capture support to the sndio backend.
The patch also allows the `OpenDevice' function to accept arbitrary device names.

There's a chance that an audio conversion from many channels to a few can use more than 9 audio filters. SDL_AudioCVT has 10 SDL_AudioFilter pointers of which one has to be the terminating NULL pointer. The SDL code has no checks for this limit. If it overflows there can be stack or heap corruption or a call to 0xa.
Attached patch adds a function that checks for this limit and throws an error if it is reached. Also adds some documentation.
Test parameters that trigger this issue:
AUDIO_U16MSB with 224 channels at 46359 Hz
V
AUDIO_S16MSB with 6 channels at 27463 Hz
The fuzzer program I uploaded in bug 3667 has more of them.

Fixes Bugzilla #2163.
(with several more commits following to improve this code.)
