--- Comment #10 from John P Sims jsims2359@gmail.com 2009-09-30 21:20:23 --- My libopenal is WAY out of date. I should know better than to use the ubuntu repos, but I used it to install libopenal - verion 1.4 (yikes). I guess I was confusing the matter. For some reason, I didn't have any trouble addressing the change to libmpg123, but this one threw me.
That said I think I'm on to something. Shouldn't the ./configure tell me that my libopenal-dev-1.4 headers are too old?
Oh, Chris, I removed pulseaudio from my system. Thanks for your very informative post. I'm rebuilding wine from git and compiling the latest openal soft. Test results to follow.
