--- Comment #9 from Dennis Schridde lindevel@gmx.net 2009-08-14 05:02:25 --- 1. Which "system one" do you refer to? OpenAL 1.8.466, which my Linux distribution installs?
2. OpenAL-Soft from http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html is not installed automatically, while the OpenAL of my Linux distribution is. If you are hesitant to bridge OpenAL with a wrapper DLL, you should at least install the OpenAL-Soft DLL automatically.
3. Does the OpenAL-Soft DLL inside Wine support accessing audio hardware / hardware acceleration / hardware features?
