Again, consider SDL like in other threads (window/input handling). SDL has apis to work with audio. Not sure in main library or in SDL mixer.
https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/

SDL_mixer is a sample multi-channel audio mixer library.
It supports any number of simultaneously playing channels of 16 bit stereo audio, plus a single channel of music, mixed by the popular FLAC, MikMod MOD, Timidity MIDI, Ogg Vorbis, and SMPEG MP3 libraries.

OpenAL is OpenGL-like library, it does not know about audio formats. You will need an external libraries like libogg, libvorbis, etc. for support formats itself. But, I will recommend to use OpenAL-soft or any other implementation instead of phroprietary FMOD or doubtful SDLmixer
