What sort of API is easy to learn and use, that I can play several different audio files at once. Mp3 support would be nuce, but its not a must.

im sure you don't want Direct Sound so try OpenAL

OpenAL has never been offically released as far as i know, All you can get is CVS snapshots. Im not even sure if its still being worked on.
thats so unfortunatly true...
but well, it works and its cross platform...

Unless it's against your religon you could try DirectSound then. It's not that complicated, just follow the steps in the tutorials from the docs from the sdk. Alternatively you could look at SDL, which wraps DirectSound and is cross platform compatible.

What about PLIB, or is there one called SMOD?
