Constify the min/max period variables, use a #define for the base clock rate used in the calculations and note that changing the upper limit can have dire side effects as it's a hard limit in Pipewire.
Replace "magic numbers" with #defines, explain the requirements when using the userdata pointer in the node_object struct and a few other minor code and comment cleanups.
Use the 'R' (rear) prefixed designations for the rear audio channels instead of 'S' (surround). Surround designated channels are only used in the 8 channel configuration.
Further refactor the device enumeration code to retrieve the default sink/source node IDs from the metadata node. Use the retrieved IDs to sort the device list so that the default devices are at the beginning and thus are the first reported to SDL.
The latency of source nodes can change depending on the overall latency of the processing graph. Incoming audio must therefore always be buffered to ensure uninterrupted delivery.
The SDL_AudioStream path was removed in the input callback as the only thing it was used for was buffering audio outside of Pipewire's min/max period sizes, and that case is now handled by the omnipresent buffer.
Extend device enumeration to retrieve the channel count and default sample rate for sink and source nodes. This required a fairly significant rework of the enumeration procedure as multiple callbacks are involved now. Sink/source nodes are tracked in a separate list during the enumeration process so they can be cleaned up if a device is removed before completion. These changes also simplify any future efforts that may be needed to retrieve additional configuration information from the nodes.
This uses the mechanism added in emscripten-core/emscripten#10843
which was applied to SDL1 and OpenAL. This adds the same for SDL2.
This also reverts commit 865eaddffed50dbd13e6564c3f73902472cf74e8
which did something similar, but the new mechanism is more effective.
The DJGPP compiler emits many warnings for conflicts between print
format specifiers and argument types. To fix the warnings, I added
`SDL_PRIx32` macros for use with `Sint32` and `Uint32` types. The macros
alias those found in <inttypes.h> or fallback to a reasonable default.
As an alternative, print arguments could be cast to plain old integers.
I opted slightly for the current solution as it felt more technically correct,
despite making the format strings more verbose.

The NetBSD kernel's audio resampling code is much simpler and lower quality than libsamplerate.
Presumably, if SDL always performs I/O on the audio device in its native frequency, we can avoid resampling audio in the kernel and let SDL do it with libsamplerate instead.
If we fail to connect to the the pa server, we have an assigned context
and mainloop that isn't connected. So, when PULSEAUDIO_pa_context_disconnect
is called, pa asserts and crashes the application.
Assertion 'pa_atomic_load(&(c)->_ref) >= 1' failed at pulse/context.c:1055, function pa_context_disconnect(). Aborting.
When converting audio from signed to unsigned values of vice-versa
the silence value chosen by SDL was the value of the device, not
of the stream that the data was being put into. After conversion
this would lead to a very high or low value, making the speaker
jump to a extreme positon, leading to an audible noise whenever
creating, destroying or playing scilence on a device that reqired
such conversion.
Original code assigned MCIMixSetup.ulSamplesPerSec value to it, but it
is just the freq... We now change spec->samples only either if it is 0
or we changed the frequency, by picking a default of ~46 ms at desired
frequency (code taken from SDL_audio.c:prepare_audiospec()).
With this, the crashes I have been experiencing are gone.
I _think_ this is a right thing to do; it fixes a .wav file I have here that
has blockalign==2 when channels==2 and bitspersample==16, which otherwise
would fail.
