Double-check that the file gets loaded, by checking that 'buf' isn't 
0/AL_NONE. If it is AL_NONE, you'll want to print out what 
alureGetErrorString() returns.

To make sure, you're using the DLL from the binary distribution? And what 
format is the .wav file? If it's mp3-compressed, it won't play.
