For audio, an alternative to SDL's audio support is Audiere
(http://audiere.sourceforge.net/). It can play both streams and
pre-loaded samples in WAV, MP3, Vorbis, MOD, and a few other formats.
Under Windows, it uses DirectSound to mix sounds, so it can take
advantage of Windows 2000/XP's kernel-mode mixer or hardware mixing.
Under Unix, it uses its own low-latency mixer with decent sample rate
conversion. It should work under FreeBSD, though I don't think it's
been tested there lately. None of the game consoles are currently
supported.
There's a Lua binding in the Subversion repository at SourceForge.net,
but it's not currently integrated with the GNU build system used on
Unix, so you'll have to build it yourself.
I hope this helps.
