from libsdl page:

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning Linux port of "Civilization: Call To Power."

Simple DirectMedia Layer supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS Classic, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. There is also code, but no official support, for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, and SymbianOS.

I have never used an amiga app that used it, but it's a really common library used for games, emulators and so on, since it's almost hardware indipendent. It offers access to graphics functions, input funcions, sound... .

Don't the Amiga ports of ScummVM use it?

You're right, even if i have never used the amiga version. ScummVM uses sdl on every platform.

in this "API" and runs on Windows executes in an Amiga that has this library?
I want to learn more about this. Its interesting. I also have another question. Can an 68040 Amiga handle Macromedia flash games? Sorry for my english

You'd probably at least have to recompile the program for the Amiga. But you won't need to do major rewrites of code for the graphics, sound, controls and so on.
