The modplayer in fmod is not used in SL. Its just being used as a 3D
audio lib. OpenAL would work well as it's well supported on Windows
(Vista apparently killed of DirectSound3D acceleration, leaving
Creative's OpenAL implementation as the only hardware accelerated 3D API
available in Vista) and OSX, (Apparently an official implementation
ships in Tiger.) so fmod could be fully replaced on all platforms.
