if you gave me methods to play .wav and .aif files (.ogg would be a  
plus) on at least 8 different channels with the ability to set the  
playloudness, panning and pitch (no time stretching needed, just  
playing it faster would do just fine) I´d be a happy camper, if the  
thing would not need to rely on quicktime or any other 3rd party add  
on besides the external. There are quite a few opensauce libs around  
like the beforementioned irrklang or openAL (the audio counterpart to  
openGL). I would be willing to throw some $$$ into a pot instantly if  
only I got that for at least the Mac and Win (linux being a plus  
again). For me it would need to be able to dynamicly load and unload  
samples (.wav and .aif) and play those without cutting off each other.  
Though wrapping an external around an existing solution might be the  
lowest hanging fruit for someone who speaks C.

If someone is to set up a group to discuss further specs, or wants to  
carry this off list, please let me know.

Cheers,

Malte
