Just an idea : http://jackaudio.org/
Before settling on OpenAL I took a look at all the popular sound servers
out there (even thought about using PulseAudio). I can't really
remember why I didn't pick it, but I'll look at it again. I did a quick
walk through the API and couldn't see anything that jumped at me as to
why OpenAL and not JACK.

I just have a quick look on OpenAL: it's is a powerful API, dedicated to
3D audio and gaming. The project is mostly supported by Creative.
Jack API is quite simple: it only routes audio (and MIDI) streams
between applications (and/or audio hardware!) with only one format for
audio data. It provides tools to measure and reduce latency and handles
synchronization between apps (very important for serious real-time audio
applications). It's very similar to CoreAudio.
IMHO OpenAL is a end-user-oriented API, while Jack is more like a backend.
