Let's see:

These drivers fail with "No available audio device":

# SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd ./test

Alsa (which is what is tried by default) finds a device, but fails to
call the callback:

# SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa ./test
audio trigger moo
Trying to open the audio again...
freq 44100 fmt 32784 ch 1 sa 512 cb 35064 ud 73736 si 0
Moo!
^C


Disk and dummy will "play":

# SDL_AUDIODRIVER=disk ./test
audio trigger moo
Trying to open the audio again...
freq 44100 fmt 32784 ch 1 sa 512 cb 35064 ud 73736 si 0
WARNING: You are using the SDL disk writer audio driver!
