This will (eventually) make SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() more accurate, and thus
reduce latency. Right now this isn't implemented anywhere, so we assume data
fed to the audio callback is consumed by the hardware and immediately played
to completion.
For versions of XAudio2 with an IXAudio2SourceVoice::GetState() that offers a
flags parameter, we can use XAUDIO2_VOICE_NOSAMPLESPLAYED, since we don't
need this information in our current calls. According to MSDN, this makes the
the call about 3x faster.

If 'SDL_OpenAudio' is called with 'obtained == NULL', 'prepare_audiospec' performs a bad 'memcpy' with the destination and source pointing to the same block of memory. The problem appears to be on in 'SDL_OpenAudio', which calls open_audio_device with 'obtained = desired' when 'obtained == NULL'. 'open_audio_device' cannot deal with 'desired' and 'obtained' pointing to the same block of memory but can deal with 'obtained == NULL'

In SDL_wave.c, BEXT wave files with "bext" instead of "fmt " are choked on
if (chunk.magic != FMT) {
SDL_SetError("Complex WAVE files not supported");
was_error = 1;
goto done;
}
BEXT files http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_Wave_Format actually playback the same as regular waves. All they have is (A LOT OF) extra header info.
To open them, just SKIP the "bext" chunk, and the "fmt " chunk will be a couple of hundred bytes later.
The "fmt " chunk is also bloated, but if you skip past the extra information to the "data" chunk, there is nothing different about a BEXT wave file than a "normal" one.
You can then load the data and proceed as normal.

Attached is patch from the OpenBSD ports tree to add 24-bit support to the sndio backend and to make use of the sio_open() option SIO_DEVANY.
