Definition of macro glue is in osdep.h.  It glues together its
arguments.  Consult your textbook on C to understand how that kind of
arcane preprocessor magic works.

The audio subsystem is exceedingly fond of magic.

In actual use, macro TYPE has either value in or out, thus the result is
either s->nb_hw_voices_in or s->nb_hw_voices_out.
