[SDL] ALSA/OSS linux audio driver priorities

[Laurent Moussault]

Hello,

This is my first post on the list, so I'd like first to thank Sam
Latinga (and everyone else) for this great library!

Since a few months I'm a contributor to the game Neverball, and this
"audio crackling bug" is something we have encountered too. 

The interesting point is that some of our players have a similar problem
on _windows_: audio crackling that disappear when setting the volume to
100%. If this is the same bug, this would suggest that it's not directly
related to alsa.

Here's a link to a thread in the Neverball forum discussing the audio
crackling:

This was a few months ago, but I can bring back the subject on the forum
if you want more precisions. What kind of information would be useful?

regards,
