F-10: switch from OpenAL to OpenAL-soft
by Hans de Goede 13 May '08

13 May '08

Hi All, I've been lurking on the debian-games list the last few months and sometimes learn very interesting things there. As some of you probably know OpenAL upstream, the SI (sample implementation) is sortof dead. But recently someone has been doing a new OpenAL implementation, and thats gaining lots of traction, so much traction even that upstream is considering making this new implementation called OpenAL-soft the new recommend implementation. Thus I would like to suggest switching to this new OpenAL for F-10, for more on OpenAL-soft see: http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/openal-devel/2007-December/004977.… http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/openal/2008-February/010981.html http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/openal/2008-March/011019.html http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/openal/2008-April/011073.html Also interesting in this light, is this posting to the Debian games list, which lists all programs which use OpenAl in Debian, and how they work with the new OpenAL (seems 90% works with just a rebuild): http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2008/05/msg00020.html So what do you think about switching to OpenAL-soft for F-10 ? Regards, Hans
