I will listen to bugreports and fix if I find an issue. But openal is
just a little experiment that is not very usable for now, so I didn't
want to add further complexity for now.
That decision is in no way final though, and can change quickly once
there is either someone else interested in maintaining openal or someone
can tell me how to get an actually working openal on linux.
