Too bad, it was interesting.FMOD is also quite used, but not free for commercial use (which is fair, IMHO). http://www.fmod.org/I didn't see Lua bindings for these in http://lua-users.org/wiki/LibrariesAndBindings Freya <http://www.geekzine.net/freya/> uses FMOD, but through the Allegro library.
Erm, not FMOD, but DUMB: http://dumb.sourceforge.net/index.php which is quite different...
That's funny, yesterday I took a look at the WiN32 API function mciSendString, thinking that binding this single function would add a whole world of multimedia to Lua (on Windows).
