Some audio backends (such as Pipewire) allow you to describe the role of your audio stream. Among other
things, this description might show up in a system control panel or software for displaying and
manipulating media playback/recording graphs.
This hints lets you transmit that information to the OS. The contents of this hint are used while opening
an audio device. You should use a string that describes your what your program is playing (Game, Music,
Movie, etc...).
Setting this to "" or leaving it unset will have SDL use a reasonable default: "Game" or something
similar.
Note that while this talks about audio streams, this is an OS-level concept, so it applies to a physical
audio device in this case, and not an
SDL_AudioStream , nor an SDL logical audio device.
This hint should be set before an audio device is opened.
