mingw32-SDL_mixer cannot open audio device

[Christopher Thielen]

Hi fedora-mingw,

I've tried the following on Windows XP and WINE, using multiple machines
as well as trying the mingw32-SDL_mixer RPM versus compiling SDL_mixer
myself using fedora-mingw's gcc - no matter what I do, I cannot get this
SDL_mixer demo to work.

It should open a 320x200 window and play 'music.ogg' from the current
directory when you press 'm'. Press again to stop.

This demo works fine as a native Linux app. Cross-compiling with MinGW
causes the audio device to simply not open.

Anybody have any clue what's going on?
