AudioStream::DataCallback directly calls cubeb_get_backend_id.  Instead, it should query the backend during stream construction and use a local flag to apply the winmm workaround.

While this happens to work with at least some of the current backends, it's not safe to do in general and the libcubeb API is not intended to be called reentrantly from within callbacks.


It'd be even better to fix (or have fixed) the winmm backend in the first place rather than applying ad hoc workarounds like this.
