you need to setup the parameters in .alsoftrc for those openal games if you are using openal-soft in linux
I certainly did that, and I've tried various configurations. I must have got it correct if it works in UT3. Surround also works in native games like Doom 3, Quake 4, and Prey. I even get rear speaker channel audio in the oldies Majesty and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
As an additional test to the games above, I just tried Wolfenstein under WINE. No surround there either, unfortunately (even though it's another OpenAL game).
As for the hardware-accelerated emu10k1 driver: http://frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3490.html
Both Urkle (from the forum thread) and yourself are probably both referring to the project here (last updated 2004!): http://www.lost.org.uk/openal.html
