I was reminded [off list] that as of 2008, you can get by
without ADF in the US but not necessarily elsewhere.
Therefore I retract my half-suggestion that the ADF could
be removed entirely. Item 22 now reads:

Is there any chance to get to know at compile time, that openal-soft is
used?
If not: is there any chance to get to know at runtime, that openal-soft

There's no reason the chooser can't be made to run on any of our supported

Ladies & Gentlemen,

probably guess).
The source packages are currently being redistributed to higher capacity
