Hi,

I'm glad to release the first version of asound, the generic
Ada environment for audio-related tasks.

The idea of asound arose some years ago and perhaps Preben Randhol
did something on his own, I don't know...

Currently, asound isn't a generic audio library at all, but it
could be one ;)

The original intention was to write a binding to Ogg/Vorbis
and Preben proposed to start with libao. I haven't thought
about it for years, but last week I decided to implement it.

Actually asound is only a binding to libao, and not even a
complete one. It can play samples and this is more than I need,
because I don't need it ;)

Perhaps someone is interested in extending it. I do not think
that I'll have the time for great improvements within the
next N*six months, so whoever wants to go on coding, please do it ;)
