Any comments ? the linux version of open-al supports only two-speaker mode. EAX on sb live is supported only on windows. but i think the API itself of open-al is enough generic. the implementation of 3d things on alsa-lib would be too much, IMO. if a hardware supports 3d effects, they can be likely implemented on the ALSA control API, so that the upper-library can treat them generally.
