my plan is  to have a conf file for libquran
which holds data directory name. libquran will read quran.(lang).xml on
the directory as you suggested

I think libquran should not responsible to play audio. The application
that uses it should. libquran only fetch "what" to play. The frontend
apps will then determined how to play this data (e.g. fetch is to sound
server, or just dump it to /dev/dsp, etc)

What I suggested in XML for mp3 is to make possible for us to have, say,
one big audio file, and then libquran will give you audio data when you
request any particular sura/aya based on offset/length attribute.
