Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) is a cross-platform, free and open source software multimedia library written in C that presents a simple interface to various platforms' graphics, sound, and input devices, allowing a developer to write a computer game or other multimedia application that can run on many operating systems including Linux, Syllable, Haiku/BeOS, Windows, Mac OS X, AmigaOS and its clone MorphOS. It manages video, events, digital audio, CD-ROM, sound, threads, shared object loading, networking and timers. (Taken from Wikipedia)
