Thanks Moritz, I submited a new patch according to your
recommendations. This patch compiles with 2.0.5 on Windows but doesn't
have any effect (tested). I updated the docs to make this clear.

Regarding libavdevice/sdl2 - this doesn't share the implementation of
windows creation (which is shame) so this is a separate task to
implement.
