that sounds very nice, thanks for putting it together!

A question regarding the API: Is the "music" term inherited from SDL?
And what's the difference to "sample"? Looks like the "music" functions
play samples asynchronously. If so I'd vote for renaming it (to
something like play-sample/async, only better) since music isn't
necessarily the only thing one would want to play in background :-)
