Ah great. I wonder about something else: What about adding vorbis
support to alut (or does it belong into openal itself)? I guess a lot of
game devs would appreciate having vorbis support on all platforms
natively in openal/alut. Thinking further, IIRC game sounds are usually
compressed by concatenating the very short sound samples into one file,
compressing it, and splitting them on decompression. Perhaps a feature
(or even a data format support) could be added to alut/openal for this task?
