I've heard of libltdl. However, given that it's part of libtool, I wouldn't
touch it with a 40 foot pole. 

Libtool makes quite a big enough mess of build systems when it gets
introduced. Allowing it to touch actual code would be an invitation to
disaster. Yes, I DO hate libtool.

At least until libao has proper support for audio on at least one platform
without libdl, it's not really worth worrying about.
