ALSA is used very rarely anymore and the pipewire ALSA emulation isn't as good as using pipewire directly. The Pulseaudio emulation is very good, and Pulseaudio is still commonly available on Linux systems, so we'll default to that first and fall back to pipewire if it's not available. We'll finally try ALSA, to handle very old systems. Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7541
Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Version 3.0
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog and many Humble Bundle games.
More extensive documentation is available in the docs directory, starting with README.md. If you are migrating to SDL 3.0 from SDL 2.0, the changes are extensively documented in README-migration.md.
Enjoy!
