Yup, that's the intention.  I was considering a 'sample manager' layer
which manages both ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_DATAs and ALLEGRO_SAMPLEs (recycling
them when the sample finishes playing).  Not quite sure how to do it
yet.  Maybe an event that fires when a sample finishes playing, then
we can use yet another background thread.  But that feels a bit
heavyweight.
