sdlaudio: add -audiodev sdl,out.buffer-count option

Currently there is a crackling noise with SDL2 audio playback.
Commit bcf19777df: "audio/sdlaudio: Allow audio playback with
SDL2" already mentioned the crackling noise.

Add an out.buffer-count option to give users a chance to select
sane settings for glitch free audio playback. The idea was taken
from the coreaudio backend.

The in.buffer-count option will be used with one of the next
patches.
