Bindings are for compilation only. You still need to link with the 
libraries, which varies by platform.

D has the pragma(lib) feature where you can tell the compiler to link 
with a specific library as well. For example:

   pragma(lib, "curl");

You would probably use "sndfile" in your case (not sure):

   pragma(lib, "sndfile");

Yes.

I will let others answer that. I don't know Windows anymore.

All the names come from planet Mars. Phobos is its large moon and Deimos 
is the small one.

Yes.
