- *      and cannot fill the audio buffer in time.  A stereo sample consists of
- *      both right and left channels in LR ordering.
- *      Note that the number of samples is directly related to time by the
- *      following formula:  \code ms = (samples*1000)/freq \endcode
- *    - \c desired->size is the size in bytes of the audio buffer, and is
- *      calculated by SDL_OpenAudio().
- *    - \c desired->silence is the value used to set the buffer to silence,
- *      and is calculated by SDL_OpenAudio().
- *    - \c desired->callback should be set to a function that will be called
- *      when the audio device is ready for more data.  It is passed a pointer
- *      to the audio buffer, and the length in bytes of the audio buffer.
- *      This function usually runs in a separate thread, and so you should
- *      protect data structures that it accesses by calling SDL_LockAudio()
- *      and SDL_UnlockAudio() in your code. Alternately, you may pass a NULL
- *      pointer here, and call SDL_QueueAudio() with some frequency, to queue
- *      more audio samples to be played (or for capture devices, call
- *      SDL_DequeueAudio() with some frequency, to obtain audio samples).
- *    - \c desired->userdata is passed as the first parameter to your callback
- *      function. If you passed a NULL callback, this value is ignored.
- *
- *  The audio device starts out playing silence when it's opened, and should
- *  be enabled for playing by calling \c SDL_PauseAudio(0) when you are ready
- *  for your audio callback function to be called.  Since the audio driver
- *  may modify the requested size of the audio buffer, you should allocate
- *  any local mixing buffers after you open the audio device.
+ * This function is a legacy means of opening the audio device.
+ *
+ * This function remains for compatibility with SDL 1.2, but also because it's
+ * slightly easier to use than the new functions in SDL 2.0. The new, more
+ * powerful, and preferred way to do this is SDL_OpenAudioDevice().
+ *
+ * This function is roughly equivalent to:
+ *
+ * ```c
+ * SDL_OpenAudioDevice(NULL, 0, desired, obtained, SDL_AUDIO_ALLOW_ANY_CHANGE);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * With two notable exceptions:
+ *
+ * - If `obtained` is NULL, we use `desired` (and allow no changes), which
+ *   means desired will be modified to have the correct values for silence,
+ *   etc, and SDL will convert any differences between your app's specific
+ *   request and the hardware behind the scenes.
+ * - The return value is always success or failure, and not a device ID, which
+ *   means you can only have one device open at a time with this function.
+ *
+ * \param desired an SDL_AudioSpec structure representing the desired output
+ *                format. Please refer to the SDL_OpenAudioDevice
+ *                documentation for details on how to prepare this structure.
+ * \param obtained an SDL_AudioSpec structure filled in with the actual
+ *                 parameters, or NULL.
+ * \returns 0 if successful, placing the actual hardware parameters in the

+ *
+ * `allowed_changes` can have the following flags OR'd together:

+ * - `SDL_AUDIO_ALLOW_FREQUENCY_CHANGE`
+ * - `SDL_AUDIO_ALLOW_FORMAT_CHANGE`
+ * - `SDL_AUDIO_ALLOW_CHANNELS_CHANGE`
+ * - `SDL_AUDIO_ALLOW_ANY_CHANGE`
+ *
+ * These flags specify how SDL should behave when a device cannot offer a
+ * specific feature. If the application requests a feature that the hardware
+ * doesn't offer, SDL will always try to get the closest equivalent.
+ *
+ * For example, if you ask for float32 audio format, but the sound card only
+ * supports int16, SDL will set the hardware to int16. If you had set
+ * SDL_AUDIO_ALLOW_FORMAT_CHANGE, SDL will change the format in the `obtained`
+ * structure. If that flag was *not* set, SDL will prepare to convert your
+ * callback's float32 audio to int16 before feeding it to the hardware and
+ * will keep the originally requested format in the `obtained` structure.
+ *
+ * The resulting audio specs, varying depending on hardware and on what
+ * changes were allowed, will then be written back to `obtained`.
