I think that would more-or-less come down to the same idea that I  
propsed, with two (possible) drawbacks: one is that (among others)  
the name al_play_sample() is already taken, but it is the most  
logical name. The other is that my proposal suggests default  
behavior, meaning that a user can start with the "simple" subset of  
the API and transparently move on to the "advanced" API if and when  
he/she wants to. I'd certainly prefer something like that over a  
"dual API" approach.
In a way that's what A4 has and I don't think this does it much good.
