Hum... Look at what I've found in SDL doc:

If you use both sound and video in your application, you need to call
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO | SDL_INIT_VIDEO) before opening the sound
device, otherwise under Win32 DirectX, you won't be able to set
full-screen display modes.

Not what we are doing, isn't it? Worse, I've figured out that there is
no call to SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO) in our code!

Expect some new Windows tests soon - though you still can test the
current one, especially if you can get output! :)

Fortunately, it turns out that once problems are solved under Windows,
they are solved on all platforms - this is another reason for having a
working Windows port! :p
