As I wrote a few days ago I've got the same problem upgrading from SDL
1.2.7 to 1.2.8 and compiling against MinGW 3.3.1 with Dev-Cpp.

....
Comparing SDL_audio.h version 1.2.8 to previous 1.2.7 I found that the only
difference on line 97 is:

    (1.2.8) void (SDLCALL *filters[10])(struct SDL_AudioCVT *cvt, Uint16
format);
    
    (1.2.7) void ( *filters[10])(struct SDL_AudioCVT *cvt, Uint16 format);

deleting "SDLCALL" in 1.2.8 all seems to work fine..  ..but why?!
....

Again: I don't know why, by this work.
