SDL can only resample audio by halves or doubles of the loaded rate.
So if you load a wav file at 41khz but playback at 22khz or 44khz it will not be
the right speed, which makes the pitch sound different.

You'll want to get all your sound samples into the same rate for your game, and
then initialize the SDL audio to that sample rate (or a multiple of that rate)
