SDL_mixer, from what I've read of it, is fairly simple but I've read enough
things to scare me away from using it as a serious base to start. I've
actually been seeing a lot of concensus talk in the forums about using fmod
, which seems to be pretty powerful.
I hear fmod gives the doppler effect stuff that openAL gives you as well.
Not sure.
And think of it this way--it'll be a good chance to practice modularizing
your code so as to block sound functions into a "black box" class called
CSoundEngine (or similar), which does your standard Load() , Play(), Stop(),
etc. so it doesn't really matter which back-end you're using.

does SDL support 3d sound?
as far as i know it doesnt.
maybe sdl_mixer does? but sdl_mixer all you hear is people asking about how
to find the correct buffer size so the sound doesnt lag or skip.
hes trying to keep it simple, like we all wish we could (:
