The audio module was not really stable in 0.6.0, it takes very little messing around to cause OpenAL to do horrible things. It should now be much more stable,
and you *should* be able to play/stop/pause/resume/rewind/loop like a madman without disasters. Seek and tell, however, are still not tested and verified for
all decoders, but that's less important. Also, all objects now have object:type() and object:typeOf(), which returns the type name of the object,
and checks whether an object is of a certain type, respectively.
