Documentation for LuaGL
If you don't mind using software developed and maintained by an individual (myself), there's MoonGL together with a few other companion libraries. They are all documented and come with quite a few examples.

Best lua 3D engines?
Thank you for mentioning it. I wrote also bindings for OpenGL, GLFW, and a few other libraries (see https://github.com/stetre/moonlibs ). Desktop only.

You'll probably have better luck with an audio library, I haven't used one myself but this page lists 3 options https://github.com/stetre/moonlibs
