For the low_level_graphics/audio/game_input check SDL too (www.libSDL.org).
It covers most of the basic needs and has lots of add-on modules.
It is written in C (with some add-ons written in C++) but there is
an Ada binding.
SDL supports accelerated 2D and OpenGL, plus joystick/gamepad/mouse/keyboard
IO routines, audio mixer for sound effects,"portable" timing and threads
and "raw" cd-rom support  (to play audio tracks directly from cdrom)
plus other useful things.

It runs on Windows, Linux, OS/2, Beos and there is a Playstation II port
in progress.
