Hmm, it looks like SDL2main has a problem providing main().

I'm actually wondering what to do with the examples because, at least on 
my distro, SDL_sound is not playing nice with SDL2. SDL_sound won't 
recognize supported file formats. I presume it's because SDL_sound is 
hard-linked against SDL(1), but having SDL2 linked in the same process 
is causing a conflict. SDL2, however, is needed for the alffplay 
example, and it seems weird to have some examples use SDL1 and others 
use SDL2.
