Licensing question (GPL or LGPL)

I have a small (big?) question about mixing licenses within a project.
We'd like to distribute the project as LGPL or, in its defect, as GPL.

The project consists of a PD external built with the flext library
(the only GPL license of the lot).

We want to release a C++ API and, separately, the PD external. 

The libraries we're using (for the API) are the following:
LibcURL – http://curl.haxx.se/        (MIT)
TinyXML – http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyxml (ZLIB)
LibSnd - http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ (LGPL)

As said before, the PD external uses flext (flext -
http://grrrr.org/ext/flext/, GPL) and the above-mentioned API.

Can we release the API as LGPL? What licenses would be possible for
the external?

Thanks in advance,
