Can anyone recommend me a portable sound library that will easily work with both Windows and Linux? The ideal one would be a small and easy to understand one which doesn't try do do anything more than play a buffer at a specified sampling rate, to which I may mix my sound emulation.

Try the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL), found at http://www.libsdl.org/
It is for C/C++ and very easy to use.

Thanks! It works perfectly. =)

SDL is very nice... and ports to linux/Win32/BeOS pretty well, but if you want portability to dos, try allegro [alleg.sourceforge.net]. AFAIK it has basic sound routines that won't interfere with whatever your'e doing [fakeNES uses it].
