+This is a plugin for foobar2000 that uses SDL for output instead of
+DirectSound/WASAPI/etc.
+
+The primary motivation here is not to have SDL as a backend on Windows,
+but on Linux/wine. It effectively means we bypass the directsound
+emulation. Of course we're still going through a compatibility layer,
+so the real-world benefits may not be as good as it seems. Oh well.
+DirectSound sucks anyway.
+
+You can use this today as a wrapper on wine by compiling the tiny
+wrapper .c file.
