It would be cool to have a listing of other helper libraries with a short blurb about them.

To start off, here are the libraries that I have found.

Audiere - http://audiere.sourceforge.net/ : High level audio API, LGPL license
RakNet - http://www.rakkarsoft.com/ : UDP Networking API, Commercial - Free to $2000, 1.4 is Open Source (post burried in the forum states this)
HawkNL - http://www.hawksoft.com/hawknl: Networking API, LGPL
ODE - http://opende.sourceforge.net/ Physics API, LGPL
Tokamak - http://www.tokamakphysics.com/: Physics API, Commercial - Free

Well, AI is a can of worms in itself as there really isn't a comprehensive AI. Most of it is broken into groupings of cognitive modeling(neural netoworks), social(Lisa/Alice) and pathfinding(A*, Djikstra). In some ways, they overlap but there really isn't definitive sources.

I've used Alice before to give my NPCs the ability to hold a conversation but peoples horrible spelling problems ("wtf iz up whit dis b0t!") coupled with the fact that everything came out sounding like a therapist made it unfeasable at the time.

Actually FEAR is an AI library for Quake 2, so couldn't directly be used without modification but the framework is better than starting from scratch.
