TempAu is small and simple C++ audio library. It's also free and crossplatform. And it has a nice video tutorial to get started.

TempAu is extremely easy to use! Look over those two lines of code: 
Sound sound("somefile.mp3"); // Create sound object
sound.play();                // Play it!
That's all you need to make it play ;)

Another wonderful thing about this library is that it will update every month! If you have an idea what particularly should appear in the next version please tell me! To do this, visit TempAu on Google Groups.
