audio: threading and device hang improvements.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This tries to make SDL robust against device drivers that have hung up,
apps don't freeze in catastrophic (but not necessarily uncommon) conditions.

Now we detach the audio thread and let it clean up and don't care if it
never actually runs to completion.
