There was a draft of this where it did audio conversion into the final buffer,
if there was enough room available past what you asked for, but that interface
got removed, so the parameters didn't make sense (and we were using the
wrong one in any case, too!).

This notice is about a misplaced comment.
Often times when we use an #if #endif sequence, the #endif is followed by a comment to indicate what #if statement it belonged to. The SDL_xaudio2.c file contains a misplaced comment, as follows (I stripped the other comments):
#ifdef __GNUC__
# define SDL_XAUDIO2_HAS_SDK 1
#elif defined(__WINRT__)
# define SDL_XAUDIO2_HAS_SDK
#include "SDL_xaudio2.h"
#else
#if 0
#include <dxsdkver.h>
#if (!defined(_DXSDK_BUILD_MAJOR) || (_DXSDK_BUILD_MAJOR < 1284))
# pragma message("Your DirectX SDK is too old. Disabling XAudio2 support.")
#else
# define SDL_XAUDIO2_HAS_SDK 1
#endif
#endif
#endif /* 0 */
That final /* 0 */ should be moved one line up. Like this (I tabbed it out for you to make it more clear):
This was a leftover of simplifying the resamplers down from autogenerated
code; I forgot to make something that the generator hardcoded into something
variable.
Fixes Bugzilla #3507.

Okay, when I researched code and algorithm, I tried to replace condition "while(dst >= target)" with "while(dst > target)" and crashes are gone.
Seems on some moments it tries to write into the place before memory block begin, therefore phantom crashes appearing after some moments.
This no longer uses a script to generate code for every possible type
conversion or resampler. This caused a bloat in binary size and and compile
times. Now we use a handful of more generic functions and assume staying in
the CPU cache is the most important thing anyhow.
This shrinks the size of the final build (in this case: macOS X amd64, -Os to
optimize for size) by 15%. When compiling on a single core, build times drop
by about 15% too (although the previous cost was largely hidden by multicore
builds).
Apparently some systems see "hw:", some see "default:" and some see
"sysdefault:" (and maybe others!). My workstation sees both "hw:" and
"sysdefault:" ...
Try to find a prefix we like and prioritize the prefixes we (think) we want
most. If everything else fails, if there's a "default" (not a prefix) device
name, list that by itself so the user gets _something_ here.
If we can't find a prefix we like _and_ there's no "default" device, report
no hardware found at all.

As stated in Summary. The switch statement will execute the default case and set a SDL error message: "SDL_MixAudio(): unknown audio format".
There are atleast two more problems here:
1. SDL_MixAudioFormat does not notify the user that an error has occured and that a SDL error message was set. It took me awhile to understand why I couldn't mix down the volume on my AUDIO_U16LSB formatted audio stream.. until I started digging in the SDL source code.
2. The error message is incorrect, it should read: "SDL_MixAudioFormat(): unknown audio format".
