Device enumeration now happens at startup and then is managed exclusively
through hotplugging instead of full redetection. The device name list now has
a unique "handle" associated with each item and SDL will pass this to the
backend so they don't have to figure out how a human readable name maps to
real hardware for a second time.
Other cleanups, fixes, improvements, plus all the audio backends updated to
the new interface...largely untested at this point, though.
With this commit, you can compile SDL2 with Emscripten
( http://emscripten.org/ ), and make your SDL-based C/C++ program
into a web app.
This port was due to the efforts of several people, including: Charlie Birks,
Sathyanarayanan Gunasekaran, Jukka Jylänki, Alon Zakai, Edward Rudd,
Bruce Mitchener, and Martin Gerhardy. (Thanks, everyone!)
