There is such a DLL around - search the wine-devel and wine patches archives
from it. Alexandre said he'd accept such a openal->openal thunk(but not an
openal winmm driver). The problem why it is not included yet is that the
latest state of the dll broke some games, the original developer ran out of
time to work on it(I think he coded it during holiday from his job), and
nobody since has continued working on it.
