If your Common Lisp implementation supports FFI, you might be able to use a library like PortAudio. (Also see the Common Lisp Foreign Function Interface project). Another option is to use the venerable Simple DirectMedia Layer which already have Lisp bindings. (But you may also have to get Timidity).
