SDL2 audio sample

This project is a basic sample written in C that demonstrates how we can play audio using the SDL2 library. It uses CMake as a build system. This program will start playing waves sound that can be paused/resumed by pressing the SPACE key.

It could be used as a base for any SDL2 project. Just fork it, clone it and execute the rename_project.sh script. You will be prompted to enter the new project name, the new executable name and the new git repository, but you can keep the autodetected values. Finally, just commit and push the result to your repository.
