[SDL] Winamp plugin help needed

[Drew Vassallo]

Ok folks, I need some advice on debugging my plugin for Winamp using SDL.

I've gotten it to the point where SDL initializes, sets up a window (or 
fullscreen, both work) and displays whatever I write to the surface.

When I close the plugin through winamp (i.e., turn off the plugin), I cannot 
reopen it.  The SDL_GetError() from SDL_Init() gives me "couldn't create 
window"... even in fullscreen.  Yes, I free the surface and use SDL_Quit() 
when the plugin is commanded to shut down.

I have to close the Winamp program, then restart it in order to re-run my 
plugin.

I presume that trying to use SDL_Quit(), then SDL_Init() again in order to 
switch from fullscreen to windowed will not work, either, though I haven't 
tried it.  And I'd like that option.

In terms of passing back event keystrokes, I haven't even gotten into that 
yet, but I assume it'll be difficult to pass commands through SDL back to 
the parent window (Winamp).  Is this true?

Any advice is much appreciated at this point.
