Adjusted default choice of audio driver.
If a driver can definitely see available devices, it is chosen. Otherwise,
we'll take the first driver that initializes but saw no devices...this might
be because it can't enumerate them, or there really aren't any available.
This prevents the dsp driver from hogging control when there are no /dev/dsp*
nodes (for example, on a Linux box with ALSA and no OSS emulation).

| 10 .SH "DESCRIPTION" | |
| 11 .PP | |
| 12 \fBSDL_SemTryWait\fP is a non-blocking varient of \fI\fBSDL_SemWait\fP\fR\&. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR is positive it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will return \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR instead of suspending the thread\&. | |
| 13 .PP | |
| 14 After \fBSDL_SemTryWait\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&. | |
| 15 .SH "RETURN VALUE" | |
| 16 .PP | |
| 17 Returns \fB0\fR if the semaphore was successfully locked or either \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR or \fB-1\fR if the thread would have suspended or there was an error, respectivly\&. | |
| 18 .PP | |
| 19 If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged\&. | |
