OpenAL is a minimalistic sound API that aims to provide
bare features for spacialized audio. The API looks like
the OpenGL one, thus the libs are pretty great together.
Up to now, no OpenAL extension is supported. You're highly
invited to contribute ;).
EAX is not supported yet either. It'll be embedded in
future releases, soon.
In order to build and install "al", you'll need to have
pkg-config installed.
For Ubuntu users, there might be a bug with pkg-config.
If the install fails, consider using cabal install al
your OpenAL setup is located to – you can help find that
with
find / -name al.h@.
