Is there any interest in adding OpenAL to Wine? I would imagine it's relatively simple to implement the OpenAL dll that would be a simple wrap around the Linux OpenAL library assuming they have the same functionality(from what I know of OpenAL, they should).
It's not a very common library, but if we could implement it on top of the local implementation, that would mean that programs that use it would be using local devices without having to go through the DirectSound library.
I'm not talking about using OpenAL as an audio driver, but an implementation of the OpenAL library for Wine that would use the local version of OpenAL. I tried looking around, and the only thing I found was talk about the OpenAL driver, and also brief requests for an OpenAL dll, but I didn't see anything official.
Any thoughts on if this is something that would be beneficial to add?
