No, not necessary, not in the first instance.

Compilers (well, GNAT) will be quite happy with

  audio.ads
  audio-als.ads
  audio-als.adb
  audio-mp3.ads
  audio-mp3.adb

in the same directory.

What you won't get away with is needing more than one version of the
same file in the same directory: you might need

  audio-aac.ads
  macos/audio-aac.adb
  windows/audio-aac.adb

at which point you need to control which variant the compiler gets to
see, depending on the environment. But I think that's a topic for a
different discussion!

We proposed a (joke) coding standard that the length of a name should
be log-base-2 the length of its scope in lines. So I might be quite
happy with Output : File_Type; for example. Depends whether you have
anything else that might be confused with it.
