Non-trivial audio is still difficult to do cross-platform. You can load songs in SDL, but it's not suitable for writing something like a tracker. There's a library coming through libsoundio that looks promising for cross-platform, but it's still early days - I haven't been able to get it to compile yet.

OpenAL.

OpenAL is neither good nor reliable. Sadly, nothing on linux has the quality/reliability of DirectSound.
