How to play 32 bit floating point audio

[svenskmand]

Go version: 1.20.4 Go-SDL2 version: v0.4.35 SDL2 version: 2.0.20+dfsg-2build1 OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Architecture: 64 Bit

I am trying to follow the example on how to play audio, and the example works fine, but I would really want to use another format than 8 bit sound. How do I use 32 bit floating point?:

package main

// void SineWave(void *userdata, float *stream, int len);
import "C"
import (
	"log"
	"math"
	"reflect"
	"unsafe"

	"github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl"
)

const (
	toneHz   = 220
	sampleHz = 48000
	dPhase   = 2 * math.Pi * toneHz / sampleHz
)

//export SineWave
func SineWave(userdata unsafe.Pointer, stream *C.float, length C.int) {
	n := int(length)
	hdr := reflect.SliceHeader{Data: uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(stream)), Len: n, Cap: n}
	buf := *(*[]C.float)(unsafe.Pointer(&hdr))

	var phase float64
	for i := 0; i < n; i += 2 {
		phase += dPhase
		sample := C.float((math.Sin(phase) + 0.999999) * 128)
		buf[i] = sample
		buf[i+1] = sample
	}
}

func playTone() {
	if err := sdl.Init(sdl.INIT_AUDIO); err != nil {
		log.Println(err)
		return
	}
	defer sdl.Quit()

	spec := &sdl.AudioSpec{
		Freq:     sampleHz,
		Format:   sdl.AUDIO_F32SYS,
		Channels: 2,
		Samples:  sampleHz,
		Callback: sdl.AudioCallback(C.SineWave),
	}
	if err := sdl.OpenAudio(spec, nil); err != nil {
		log.Println(err)
		return
	}
	sdl.PauseAudio(false)
	sdl.Delay(1000) // play audio for long enough to understand whether it works
	sdl.CloseAudio()
}

func main() {
	// foo := 2.12312
	// var bar C.float = 2.123
	// fmt.Println(foo, bar)
	playTone()
}

I tried simply changing all references to the type C.Uint8 with C.float as this should be the 32 bit floating point number in C, and then i changed the Format field in the AudioSpec to sdl.AUDIO_F32SYS, but unfortunately it does not work, then I just get this segfault when running the program:

I have not work with Cgo before so I might be missing something completely trivial. Any help here would be awesome :)
