There's also a couple of sound libraries that Gnome uses:

* esd, a sound daemon.  It abstracts away the hardware and lets you
  play stuff over the net.
* audiofile, a library that knows how to interpret various audio
  file formats.

I don't know enough about these to compare/constrast with your
library.  Just thought I'd point them out in case anybody is
interested.
