well it appears that only way to make things work is make some of
easily used panning control and release it opensource or something
for other devs to use.
panning has been one of the major things to do with audiogames, so if
one can be developed others should be able to be developed to.
even if you need to charge 10 bucks to the prospective dev for it or
even opensource it in the long run it would still help that is if
something like this could be worked out.

Hi Shaun,
Yes, I remember. that is in part why we are doing more private testing
with something like OpenAL before officially adopting it upstream. The
3d audio is fairly decent, but we haven't quite worked out a decent
pan control as OpenAL simply doesn't have one, and we have to make our
own custom one over the 3d audio positioning.
The same holds true if we adopted XAudio2 which is now the official
audio API for Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. Its possible to write a
pan control over the existing 3d audio interface, but XAudio2 doesn't
come with a stock one with the library any more than OpenAL does.
The fact of the matter is simple 2d stereo panning like we had with
DirectSound is a thing of the past and we will have to get use to it.
Developers will either have to write their own, pay to license that
feature, or do without it. Simple 2d panning is basically not a really
popular feature in newer audio libraries and it seems it is 3d this
and 3d that and we like the mainstream community will have to roll
with the change.
Cheers!
