It will be much sooner than that. We will be able to extend the APIs
over time as long as we don't break any of the existing ones.
Please send us some requirements that you have. Perhaps you can suggest
APIs for a good audio solution. Audio is pretty hard. We'd like to support
many audio formats, audio filters, mixing, decompression, completion
callbacks, looping, etc.

Unfortunately yes. We could have delayed the release a couple of months until
we have sorted the audio APIs, but that seemed unreasonable. Everything is
a compromise...
Have fun,
