VMware relies on the cursor being set to NULL to optimize relative mouse motion for games.
We should also revisit whether current RDP works better with a NULL cursor or a transparent cursor.

The comment in the source wasn't true; PipeWire doesn't _have_ to work in
float format. It presumably does if it has to mix, but if a game is the only
thing making noise on the system--a common scenario--then it might be able to
pass, say, Sint16 data straight through to the hardware without conversion.
Fixes#12129.

On newer systems, the trick isn't necessary, and if you do it, if the user is
moving the mouse when launching the app, it'll show a hidden Dock.
Fixes#10340.

SDL_PrivateJoystickAdded was called before setting the InstanceId in the adapters ctx->joysticks array. This would eventually broadcast the SDL_EVENT_JOYSTICK_ADDED event with the new InstanceId, if your program listens for the added events and opens joysticks at that point it would always fail because there would be no matching InstanceId in the ctx->joysticks array.

The SIGILL handler is not very reliable and can cause crashes.
Linux provides the CPU's AltiVec support status in getauxval.

Unregistering the input report callback marks the device as disconnected, so IOHIDDeviceClose() would never be called if the device wasn't already disconnected when hid_close() was called.

It looks like both macOS (15.1.1) and SDL are trying to talk to the controller at the same time, which can cause interleaved replies or even locking up the controller. Waiting a bit before talking to the controller seems to take care of this.
On Windows 11, apparently HidD_GetManufacturerString() and HidD_GetProductString() can return TRUE without actually filling in any string data.

When the flushing is not able to keep up with the audio stream coming in,
it will end up flushing forever and block API clients from getting any audio.
Fixes#9706
Merged upstream fix for macOS:
cdc473dfe4
In one of the early versions of macOS, when you try to close the device
with IOHIDDeviceClose() that is being physically disconnected.
Starting with some version of macOS, this crash bug was fixed,
and starting with macSO 10.15 the opposite effect took place:
in some environments crash happens if IOHIDDeviceClose() is _not_ called.
This patch is to keep a workaround for old versions of macOS,
and don't have a leak in new/tested environments.
