ma_node_attach_output_bus() to accept ma_node_base* instead of ma_node*

[mincequi]

Hey there,
i am using miniaudio pretty heavily in my project and i came up with a question regarding your API design.
ma_node_attach_output_bus() accepts ma_node* (which is an alias for void*). This can easily be misused since you cannot prohibit an implicit conversion to void*. Unfortunately, this caused a lot of headache for me while finding a bug (on my side).

So, my suggestion: if ma_node_attach_output_bus() would accept a ma_node_base* instead, misusage could be avoided. And i see, that within ma_node_attach_output_bus() ma_node* is casted to ma_node_base* anyways.

Had there been any specific reason, why ma_node is an alias for void?

Thanks.

It's typed as void to avoid the need for a cast when passing in different types of nodes. I have no intention on changing this sorry.

Moving to discussion section.
