[i]Turned dynamic loading of ESD and aRts on by default[/i]
I do believe that bringing up those audio services dynamically by running an application is a security risk. I can think of a dozen shell exploits to wrap those daemons to another service to execute arbitrary code.
FusionSound (of DirectFB.org fame), XFree86 Audio Extensionm YIFF Sound Server, [b]aRts[/b], [b]ESD[/b]…some others I can’t remember. There are many, with YIFF having the most potential.

Updated Atari port for new system headers …. are we talking Atari like M68000 Atari ST computers or?

These look like some serious improvements. Non-blocking ALSA, and greatly increased DGA speed stick to mind. Now every CVS game you have will demand the new SDL dev package… oh well. I bet its either being uploaded to Debian Unstable now or somebody’s compiler is cranking. This will cause a ripple effect through the games packages. Hmm… better wait a bit before updating ;-)
[br]Thanks Sam! SDL is great and you are one of the Free Software Hero’s! We all owe you a Free Software Beer!
