Thanks Cara and Willem. This is very helpful. It is nice to have a library to look at for parsing sound files. I'm also quite glad to hear I can play sounds and music non-positionally. So I can set even a mono sound's source to be stereo and make it non-positional, right Cara?
I think OpenAL and OpenAL Soft are 95% the same. You can even rename the OpenAL Soft dll to OpenAL32.dll and use it as a drop in replacement for OpenAL. The only differences I read about were HRTF support and some extra filter support. If you think of any other useful tidbits, I'm all ears, smile.
