It compiles for me (on gcc-9, 10.1 and 10.2) but I can imagine it doesn't compile on all configurations. `memset` is declared in `string.h` and that may or may not be included. 
Running gcc -H shows that on my system, `string.h` is included by `glib-2.0/glib/gtestutils.h` (which is included by `glib-2.0/glib.h`) but on other systems, that might not be the case.
Since this PR introduces `memset` in the `audio-buffer.c` file, I think it is safest to include `string.h` in this file as well, as this removes the dependency on that file to be included indirectly.
