The attached patch adds capture support to the sndio backend.
The patch also allows the `OpenDevice' function to accept arbitrary device names.

There's a chance that an audio conversion from many channels to a few can use more than 9 audio filters. SDL_AudioCVT has 10 SDL_AudioFilter pointers of which one has to be the terminating NULL pointer. The SDL code has no checks for this limit. If it overflows there can be stack or heap corruption or a call to 0xa.
Attached patch adds a function that checks for this limit and throws an error if it is reached. Also adds some documentation.
Test parameters that trigger this issue:
AUDIO_U16MSB with 224 channels at 46359 Hz
V
AUDIO_S16MSB with 6 channels at 27463 Hz
The fuzzer program I uploaded in bug 3667 has more of them.
We don't fill buffers just to throw them away during shutdown now, we let the
AudioQueue free its own buffers during disposal (which fixes possible warnings
getting printed to stderr by CoreAudio), and we stop the queue after running
any queued audio during shutdown, which prevents dropping the end of the
audio playback if you opened the device with an enormous sample buffer.
Fixes Bugzilla #3555.
We need more than two buffers to flip between if they are small, or CoreAudio
won't make any sound; apparently it needs X milliseconds of audio queued when
it needs to play more or it drops any queued buffers. We are currently
guessing 50 milliseconds as a minimum, but there's probably a more proper
way to get the minimum time period from the system.
Fixes Bugzilla #3656.
This gracefully recovers when a device format is changed, and will switch
to the new default device if the current one is unplugged, etc.
This does not handle when a new default device is added; it only notices
if the current default goes away. That will be fixed by implementing the
stubbed-out MMNotificationClient_OnDefaultDeviceChanged() function.
* alsa hotplug thread is low priority
* give a chance for other threads to catch up when audio playback is not progressing
* use nonblocking for alsa audio capture
There is a bug with SDL hanging when an audio capture USB device is removed, because poll never returns
