Fixed SDL 1.2 compatibility problem. The API specifies that SDL_OpenAudio() will fill out the 'desired' audio spec with the correct samples and size set by the driver. This value is important since it may be used by applications that size audio buffers, etc. However, we want to allow advanced applications to call SDL_OpenAudioDevice() which gets passed a const 'desired' parameter, and have the correct data filled into the 'obtained' parameter, possibly allowing or not allowing format changes. So... 'obtained' becomes the audio format the user callback is expected to use, and we add flags to allow the application to specify which format changes are allowed. Note: We really need to add a way to query the 'obtained' audio spec.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_SemPost \- Unlock a semaphore\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SemPost\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_SemPost\fP unlocks the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR and atomically increments the semaphores value\&. Threads that were blocking on the semaphore may be scheduled after this call succeeds\&.
.PP
\fBSDL_SemPost\fP should be called after a semaphore is locked by a successful call to \fISDL_SemWait\fR, \fISDL_SemTryWait\fR or \fISDL_SemWaitTimeout\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns \fB0\fR if successful or \fB-1\fR if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged)\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"

.nf
\f(CWSDL_SemPost(my_sem);\fR
