Can't find audio device by name. / Audio device IDs appear to be inconsistent.

[franzitrone]

Hey there!

Since switching to sdl2-compat, the python pygame.mixer does not seem to find audio devices anymore when supplied the devicename parameter.

It appears that when pygame.mixer.init is first run, sdl2-compat's GetAudioDeviceLocked has an empty list for AudioSDL3PlaybackDevices.

For my use case, always rebuilding the list when calling GetAudioDeviceLocked restores previous behaviour. This is the patch that I currently use: 6c7bd3e. I have also tried only rebuilding the list when it is empty, but this results in a invalid ID being used to open the audio device.

This may be an issue with pygame itself, but since it has previously worked and stopped since sdl2-compat, I'm suspecting that some compatibility layer is incompatible with pygame. Unfortunately, I haven't had the capabilities to test sdl2-compat directly yet.

I'm still hoping that this helps in some way.
