This is how you can print to DrScheme or MzScheme

char * c_str = "hello";
Scheme_Object * sch_str;
Scheme_Object *curout =
   scheme_get_param(scheme_config, MZCONFIG_OUTPUT_PORT);
str =  scheme_make_string(c_str);
scheme_display(sch_str, curout);

You can abstract out the mzscheme specific code into a separate function 
so that you don't have to deal with it.

P.S. I posted some mp3 playing code on comp.lang.scheme.
