[Openal-devel] Possible bug in openal 0.0.8 on linux

[Sven Panne]

I see at least 3 problems:

 * A device is either a "normal" device, or a capture device, but not both at the same time. Therefore having write_device *and* read_device in the device structure is conceptually wrong.

 * write_device and read_device should never become NULL.

 * The use of the global variable ispaused in a multithreaded setting is quite obscure and probably wrong.

Cheers,
   S.
