It would probably be useful to let upstream know that this regressed
somewhere between 2.28.0 and commit 38d11e5c: that might be helpful when
narrowing down what change caused this.

I don't think I can add much value here: I am not an expert on every
line of code in SDL, and I have no particular expertise regarding audio
capture. I am sorry if this means I fall short of the standards that
Debian expects from its maintainers.
