Re: OpenAL and DirectSound -- openal32.dll first pass

[Nick Burns]

Sorry for the double post -- was unaware that '[e-mail]' was the same 
thing...

I was sick last night and could not sleep .: I wrote up an openal32.dll 
thunk.

I will be testing with ut2004/and the demos (hello_world and playfile) very 
soon...

I get sound with tracing but not without -- when it works ill submit a 
patch...
