I don't know what else they add, but if I was starting out on a task like this, I personally would just start from scratch, because there doesn't seem to be very much added value in the audio side of these "engines".​ sure, maybe a simple API for "play this audio file starting in 1.29 seconds". not much else., ​

This is my first attempt at running an Arch system, and my wee experiment is about two months old. I'm still a novice with Arch, and pretty much a novice with Unity 3D. So, when you say it isn't working, your requirements might be much greater than mine, but it is working "well enough" to get me started.
