Hello Ryan & Ozkan,

I was recently wondering about the status of SDL2 support in the current
code, so I had a look at hg [0] and it seems that development on SDL_sound has
picked up again in the last few months -- which is wonderful news!

>From my scan of the shortlog, it seems like SDL2 is now supported in both
the master & stable-1.0 branches, with master dropping SDL 1.2 support.
Have I understood this correctly?  If so, are you planning on making any
future releases to signify this? Ultimately, I'd like to get a new version
of SDL_sound, which supports SDL2, into Debian proper -- rather than the
current package based on 1.0.3. This would be made easier if there were an
official release to base the package on.

If there's anything I can do to assist in this process, please do let me
know.

Thanks in advance for your consideration,
--Joe
