[Bug 27532] New: alGetError() should return AL_NO_ERROR when called out of context

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27532

Summary: alGetError() should return AL_NO_ERROR when called out
                    of context
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.21
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: openal32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail]

A proprietary app I tried today calls alGetError() to see whether
alcOpenDriver() worked... which is dumb, but alGetError() returns AL_NO_ERROR
on Windows, so it got away with it.  Linux's alGetError() returns an error
in that situation.

Patch sent, http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2011-June/103288.html

I feel a pang of guilt for sending it, though.
It's not clear how much it's worth to match this buggy behavior
when the only known affected app is one I hadn't heard of until last week.

Alternately, you can work around this problem by installing
http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip
and overriding openal32.dll to be native.
This has the advantage of working on systems which lack openal support.

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days. Development recommends
to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the
bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed. If you are no longer able to put
effort to this ticket, you can abandon it.

Is this still an issue with 1.7.8 or higher ?

Still present in Wine 1.7.8. The patch applies cleanly on 1.7.8 and it fixes
the problem when using the built-in openal32.dll
