You can use freeALUT or the sample code for loading WAV files -- your 
choice.  As can be expected, Creative emphasizes device enumeration in 
the SDK, which tends to push us towards a "do it yourself" attitude when 
it comes to the sample code.  Initialization with device enumeration as 
well as file loading can be accomplished in the current freeALUT library 
as well.
