I would be quite happy with adasound (well, reasonably happy -- I can
tell it's written in Ada, or is there a special kind of sound called
adasound that's different from other kinds?) but one thing I wouldn't
have done is prefix things with als_. Look at the way the Ada.*_IO
packages work -- File_Type (eeew), Create, Write. Close.

   F : Adasound.File_Type;
begin
   Adasound.Create (F, "test.als");
