Q:

Looking for a simple audio playback library for C++

I'm working on a simple audio player, which is going quite well, using Qt and everything. But I'm in need of a solid but simple Audio library. I don't need anything fancy such as 3D sound and what do I know what else these things got nowadays. I'm just looking for something simple and efficient.
A list of features I'm looking for:

Audio playback from files
.ogg, .mp3 and .flac should be supported at the very least.
Should be able to pause playback.
I am planning to use it in C++

See. Nothing huge or anything, but at the same time I am having a hard time finding something suitable. The platform I'm targeting is Windows 7.
Anyone out there that knows something that I might be looking for?

A:

The best possible choice in my opinion is the BASS audio library, which is not open source, but free for non-commercial use.
It is used by the AIMP2 audio player, which you can use to check the sound quality, natively supports a lot of formats including MP3 and OGG, and uses plugins to support even more, including FLAC.
