I agree that we should not support complex encodings such as mpeg/ogg.
There are plenty of libraries out there for turning there in PCM.

In fact, perhaps we should rename the library to 'libpcm'.

There are problems with calling our library 'sample'.  We end up with
things like sample.1 or sample.pc that look like example files :)
Including "sample.h" is rather ambiguous.  Also, I think pcm_resample
and pcm_mix sound better than ls_resample, and 'pcm_type_t' better than
'ls_sound_type_t'.  Of course this is all really cosmetic and I am just
being pedantic ;)
