[Openal-devel] Hardware drivers for 1.1

Is there currently any such thing as a real hardware driver for 1.1? 
For example, is there a version of CT_OAL.DLL out there somewhere that 
is OpenAL 1.1, complete with capture API, etc.?

Our app is written against 1.1 (primarily to use the capture API), but 
of course any Windows end users who happen to have CT_OAL.DLL in their 
system directory suffer crashes when running our app - apparently 
because the implementation of OpenAL that is being loaded from their 
system directory is an old version of OpenAL predating 1.1? We can work 
around this by forcing using of the generic hardware wrap_oal, but can 
Creative users download updated 1.1 drivers? Do they exist yet?

Thanks!
