Play a sound with SDL2 added lots of print information and the ability to specify the wav file as first argument. Woohoo.

It just spits out a bunch of things when I start it with one of the audio files and just doesn't play any help?

I modified this a bit, so now it shows type of error at init and list devices.

int i;

for (i = 0; i < SDL_GetNumAudioDrivers(); ++i) {
printf("Audio driver %d: %s\n", i, SDL_GetAudioDriver(i));
}
..
// Initialize SDL.
int err = SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO);
if ( err < 0) {
printf("SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO) < 0, err = %s \n", SDL_GetError());
return 1;
}
