Hi David, thank you for the patch!

It doesn’t seem right to me to declare the website of OpenAL as the home page, when the package is really just one implemenatation of the standard published on the OpenAL website. > + (synopsis "OpenAL Utility Tool") Is it a library or a tool (or both)? What does it do? > + (description "Freealut is a free implementation of OpenAL's ALUT > +standard.") Could you try to extend the description a little? I don’t know what this really means. ~~ Ricardo
