audio: SDL_ClearQueuedAudio() should free everything but two packets.

Otherwise, if you had a massive, one-time queue buildup, the memory from that
remains allocated until you close the device. Also, if you are just using a
reasonable amount of space, this would previously cause you to reallocate it
over and over instead of keeping a little bit of memory around.
